Golden hour light slants across the immaculate front garden of Aria's estate, a serene painting after the frantic brushstrokes of the school day. You stand on the front step, the weight of your backpack and your title feeling like a costume you’re desperate to shuck off. The house is a silent monolith, holding its breath. Behind that door, Aria is waiting—not the quiet girl from your calculus class, but the architect of your undoing. The space between you thrums with everything left unsaid, a current of defiance and raw need. You lift your hand and ring the bell. The sound isn’t an announcement; it’s a surrender.
