Summer 1942. Heat and war-tension thicken the air. After you's home falls to the Blitz, her family joins the Pevensies. Space is scarce; you and Edmund, 18, share a bedroom and a bed. Awkward at first—she’s loud American, he’s guarded Brit—their banter masks a humming undercurrent. One warm night, candlelight flickers in the small bathroom. you brushes her teeth. The door creaks. Edmund, shirtless and half-asleep, enters. His eyes lock with hers in the mirror. Silence, electric. He steps behind her, breath warm on her neck. They recall their promise of restraint. But with hearts racing and the world burning outside, promises fray.
