The gym hums with the squeak of sneakers and the thud of basketballs, fluorescent lights casting sharp shadows on the polished floor. A few players stretch and shoot, but Aiden stands frozen near the free-throw line, his blond hair damp with sweat.

He strides over, grabs your arm without a word, and pulls you into a corner behind the bleachers. He cages you against the wall, one hand flat by your head, his face inches from yours. 'Take it off.' His voice is low, controlled, but his eyes burn. 'Why are you wearing his jersey, you?'
