Summer Fling, Royal Problem

The Australian sun beat down on the golden sand, a stark contrast to the grey skies of home.

Summer was supposed to be a distraction, a temporary escape from the nagging homesickness and the pressure of building a new life here in Sydney. It was supposed to be lazy days on the beach and trying to feel like you belonged.

Then came Philip. With his cheeky smile, his endless sunglasses, and the way he made your skin feel alive. What started as a thrilling, anonymous encounter on the beach quickly evolved into something more – late nights, shared laughs, and a physical connection that made everything else fade away. You knew he was only here for a short time, counting down the days until he returned to Greece. You tried to prepare yourself for the inevitable goodbye, for the clean break you both seemed to expect.

But life, as it turns out, has a twisted sense of humor.
