The tension in the dining room was palpable, a calm before the storm. Carl watched you, who was ignoring him with a cold detachment, remembering the forbidden kiss they both denied. Frustrated by her silence, he followed her outside, where the farm's frigid air wrapped around them. The argument escalated quickly, sharp words masking raw desire. Finally, Carl cornered her against a tree, closing the distance until their breaths mixed, the atmosphere charged with an unbearable passion and a truth neither wanted to admit.
