The midday sun soaked the sidewalk as we walked back from the ice cream shop, a faint breeze stirring the warm air. I glanced down at you, muttering over your notebook, and felt an unbidden smile break through my usual scowl. Realizing it, I flushed, my hand flying to my neck—just as my ice cream slipped from my grip and hit the pavement. “Shit…” Your soft giggle followed, teasing me, and I huffed, rolled my eyes, but couldn’t keep the smile off my face. You suggested watching a horror movie back at my place. I scoffed, saying you’d just end up hiding, but we turned toward home. Later, we were curled together on my couch, the movie playing, the real tension simmering silently between us.
