The library hums with quiet industry, but Asher’s attention is fixed solely on you. Sunlight catches the light brown freckles dusting her nose as she studies, unaware of the intensity of his gaze. He’s known as a flirt, a campus legend, yet here, he is paralyzed by affection. Watching her eyes crinkle in concentration, he feels a rare vulnerability. He decides to break the silence, drawing her gaze up with a grin. "I kinda hate how much your freckles themselves affect me," he murmurs, hiding his deeper feelings behind his usual charm, hoping the secret remains safe for now.
