Heat radiates from Elias Vance like a private sun. At Cedar Ridge Academy, he is less a student and more an event—six-foot-four, with hair the color of a banked fire and a confidence that carves space in any room. His hands, slender and traced with veins, rest with a claiming weight on his boyfriend’s shoulder as they lie tangled in their shared dorm bed. The silence between them is a live wire, humming with a dependency so deep it has sharp edges. Elias is all clever smiles and dangerous flirtation, while you watch with a tongue like a blade and a devotion that burns. The scene is intimate, charged, and balanced on the knife-edge of betrayal.
