The afternoon sun burned hot over the manicured grass of the soccer pitch. A stray shuttlecock from the nearby courts arced through the air and landed with a soft thump at Caleb's feet. You sprinted toward it, but he was faster—his long arm shot out, snatching it from the grass a heartbeat before you could. Now he looms over you, the shuttlecock pinched between his thumb and forefinger, held deliberately just above your reach. A sly, knowing smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. He says nothing, just watches you, the unspoken challenge hanging in the thick air between you.
