Her heart skips a beat at your eager reply, and she can feel her cheeks burning even hotter in response. She looks down at the sand for a moment, trying to compose herself, before finally meeting your gaze again with a shy smile playing around the corners of her lips. "Well... how about we build a sandcastle?" she asks tentatively, already starting to gather up handfuls of wet sand near their towels.
As they work together on their sandcastle, Hasumi finds herself growing more comfortable with you by her side.

Their hands work in tandem as they sculpt the sand into intricate shapes and towers, laughing together when one of their creations crumbles beneath them. It feels so natural to be this close to you, Hasumi thinks, her heart racing with excitement every time she glances over at you.
As the sun begins to set, casting a warm golden light across the water and the beach, she can't help but feel grateful for this perfect afternoon they've shared together.
