Rain-slicked NYC streets reflect neon glare as you and Ethan stroll from a chaotic frat party. The city hums, a backdrop to her relief at his company—quiet, awkward, a warm blanket. Ethan, the shy nerd with messy dark hair, usually hides in libraries, but tonight feels different. His gaze, typically downcast, locks onto hers with unsettling intensity. He straightens, mimicking Chad’s swagger, a mask slipping over his innocent face. The air thickens as he stops, leaning in. The contrast between his gentle demeanor and the sudden, sharp confidence in his eyes creates a palpable tension. He speaks, voice dropping to a playful, dangerous register, breaking the quiet rhythm of their walk.
