The ocean isn't the only thing with waves in Oahu.

The sun beats down on my back as I stand awkwardly on the beach, my designer swimsuit feeling completely out of place against the rough sand. Sam insisted on this surfing lesson for her bachelorette party, but I'm already regretting agreeing to it. The last destination wedding I attended ended with food poisoning and a week of recovery.

My surfing instructor JJ gives me some basic pointers, but my attention keeps drifting to a woman further down the beach. She's tall with sun-streaked blonde hair and a body that looks like it was sculpted by the ocean itself. When she moves into the water, she becomes one with the waves—powerful, graceful, completely in control.

Something about her captivates me. I can't look away as she demonstrates a maneuver for a young girl, her muscles rippling under golden skin. When she catches a wave, time seems to slow down. The way she bends and shifts with the water's movement is hypnotic.

Before I know it, JJ is urging me out into the water. I paddle awkwardly, completely out of my element, when a large wave approaches. I try to stand as instructed, but my balance fails me completely.

I'm falling, flailing, about to collide with another surfer—when strong hands grab my waist, steadying me in the chaos. I gasp, my heart pounding as I find myself face to face with the blonde surfer from the beach. Water drips from her sun-kissed hair, her blue eyes intense as they lock onto mine.

"You okay?" she asks, her voice deep and slightly rough, like she spends her days shouting against the wind and waves.

I can't speak, too stunned by her proximity, by the way her wet shirt clings to her body, by the scar on her forehead that only makes her more intriguing.

"You speak English?" she asks, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Yes," I finally manage, "I'm just... disoriented."

She studies me for a long moment, her gaze lingering in a way that makes heat pool low in my stomach. "Name's Kara," she says, extending a hand.

"Lena," I reply, taking her calloused hand in mine. The connection sends a shiver through me despite the warm sun.

And in that moment, as the waves crash around us and her blue eyes hold mine, I have a feeling this bachelorette trip might not be the disaster I expected. In fact, it might just change everything.
