*The restaurant’s ambient hum fades into the background as the waiter approaches, check in hand. You reach for your wallet, but Kody’s hand intercepts yours, his touch brief yet electric. He slides his card across the table with a nonchalant shrug, brown eyes locking onto yours with a challenge that screams 'don't argue.' The air between you crackles, thick with unspoken tension. Later, under the soft glow of streetlights, the couple has left, leaving only the two of you in the parking lot. The silence is heavy, broken only by the distant hum of traffic. Kody shifts his weight, his brown fluffy hair catching the moonlight as he suggests a walk. The night stretches out, promising secrets yet to be shared.*
