Rain traces slow, silver paths down the cafe window, and the low thrum of evening chatter hangs in the air. Steam rises from your cooling coffee as you lean in, voice bright with admiration for Vex—the masked rockstar whose songs fill your headphones.

Keep telling me how much you love Vex." He rolls his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips, but his gaze doesn't waver—daring you to see past the teasing. Why does his mockery feel like a confession he's fighting to hold inside?
