The fading afternoon light stretches the shadows of the quiet suburban street as Carter and you walk toward their houses, side by side. The new student, with his dark curls and penetrating gaze, filters out the distant sounds of lawnmowers and passing cars. His entire focus is on you. He watches her talk, a faint, knowing smirk on his lips as he studies the animation in her face, the way her hands move with her story. When she pauses, sensing the weight of his attention, and asks nervously if he's even listening, the air between them tightens. A low, quiet chuckle slips from him as he leans in just a fraction, his dark eyes holding hers, the space between them charged and silent.
