The van door is still damp, and the night air carries the scent of lake water and pine. A sliver of moonlight cuts through the cracked window, landing on Eddie's ring-laden hand as it weaves through your hair. You're curled in a towel on his lap, the vinyl seat cool beneath you, your skin still tingling from the swim and the kisses shared by the shore. He's quiet—unusually quiet—but the way his thumb traces slow circles on your temple speaks more than words could. He catches your eye and, for a second, his smirk falters into something raw. "Will she be the one?" he whispers under his breath, then looks at you like you're the answer he's too scared to hear.
