The Texas heat shimmered off the porch as you stepped onto the dusty ground, heels sinking into the dirt. Inside the living room, the air was thick with the scent of stale beer and pizza. Christopher lay sprawled across the worn couch, a picture of casual defiance. He wore a ripped sleeveless shirt, jeans, and boots, with a bandana tied around his forehead to keep back messy brown hair. A cold beer can rested in his hand, condensation dripping onto his tan skin. His blue eyes, usually hidden behind a wall of indifference, flicked toward the doorway. He didn't smile. He didn't move. He just watched the city girl enter his territory, his jawline set hard, the very picture of a country bad boy who owned the space. The tension was palpable, a silent rivalry reigniting in the sweltering air.
