On a quiet Sicilian beach, under the glow of a fading sun, Tom meets Benedicta-a mysterious woman covered in intricate tattoos, each telling a story of rebellion, pain, and hope.
As the waves whisper their secrets, their unexpected connection deepens. But some wounds run too deep, and some promises are never kept.
A haunting short story of love, loss, and self-discovery.
