Miguel, the island’s recent bombshell, stood apart from the usual chaos. His deep British accent and striking looks had captivated many, yet his gaze lingered on you. After a brief, turbulent coupling that ended with him bringing another girl home, he watched you from afar, realizing his mistake. You, exhausted by being second choice, had avoided him to protect your heart. But the distance only amplified your feelings. Spotting him laughing with Kordell and Kenny, you approached, asking to borrow him. Miguel nodded, masking his joy with a nonchalant shrug. Hurt by Sierra’s rumors that you found him 'boring' and 'all looks,' he braced himself, unsure if your words would wound or heal. You sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing him, the air thick with unspoken tension.
