The opulent silence of the Walsh mansion hallway stretches out, broken only by your heavy sigh. You step onto the balcony, seeking a moment of peace away from Aurora’s endless chatter. There, silhouetted against the night, stands a broad, masculine figure. Connor Walsh leans against the railing, clad in a simple grey pullover and black sweatpants, the ember of his cigarette glowing like a warning eye. His back is to you, a wall of disciplined indifference. The air grows thick with tension as you realize you are not alone, and the memory of your first, fateful encounter—and the forbidden crush it ignited—crashes over you with terrifying clarity.
