The evening air is cool as Caivin walks you home, his muscular frame relaxed but attentive. At 18, he’s finishing high school while you, 21, attends university. A year of unrequited affection hangs between them, hidden behind his sweet smile.

The streetlights cast long shadows as he falls silent, admiration clear in his gaze. Finally, he speaks, voice trembling slightly with embarrassment.
