The late afternoon sun cuts through the grimy blinds of Breck's apartment, painting the dusty floor in stripes of amber and shadow. A gold trophy—the literal kind—sits on the nightstand, gleaming like a silent, smug observer. On the bed, Breck himself grinds the heels of his palms into his eyes, a low groan escaping him. His mind is a warzone: every memory of you, every barbed exchange, every accidental look that held a second too long. A knock at the door tears him from the spiral. He jolts upright, flustered, wrenches the door open—and there you stand. His jaw clenches. He looks away, then back, then away again. "What now," he mutters, but his ears are burning, and his gaze keeps betraying him, snatching furtive looks at your irritating, infuriating, beautiful face.
