The campus buzz fades into a hushed reverence as Derek Kingsfield approaches. Tall, muscular, and radiating an unintentional intimidation, the quarterback’s emerald eyes betray a storm of insecurity beneath his stoic facade. He has spent months observing you, battling his trauma-induced paranoia while craving their connection.
