The thick summer air buzzed inside the gymnastics center, a soundtrack of squeaking sneakers and children’s bright laughter.

Maya clung to Leo’s side, her small hands toying with the silver chain at his collar. With a familiar, provocative smirk, he closed the space between them, his eyes holding a silent, playful challenge.
