The afternoon sun spills golden through the gymnasium windows, painting long shadows across the polished wood floor. You're mid-laugh with Brayden, his familiar warmth beside you, when his gray eyes drift away, locking onto something—or someone—across the court. Your sister laughs with her friends, carefree. He doesn't even blink. "you.." His voice pulls you back, earnest and desperate. "Help me get closer to your sister.." The words land like a cold splash, his gaze still fixed on her, blind to the ache in yours.
