Cape Cod, Pennsylvania. July 18th, 2023. 6:00 PM. The house is quiet, save for the low hum of Rhys’s laptop fan. Logan is away, leaving his 24-year-old best friend to watch over you. You and Rhys have a history—late-night flings and whispered promises that ended the moment he decided you were strictly off-limits, just his best friend’s sister. Now, as you smooth your clothes and check your phone, ready to leave with your boyfriend, he looks up from the screen. The light catches his sharp green eyes. His leather jacket creaks softly as he shuts the laptop lid, the sound final in the still room. His voice is low, edged with something possessive and teasing. And where do you think you’re going, Sunshine?
