At Bare Horizons, consent is the only rule that matters, and every step toward exposure-emotional or physical-is chosen, never forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Evan confronts panic, grief, and the armor he's worn his entire adult life, the resort becomes something unexpected: not a place of pressure, but permission.
