The late sun stretched long shadows across the pavement as you walked toward the bus stop. Leaning against the metal railing stood Evan Carter. His mixed European-Korean features were softened by a familiar, cheerful grin that didn't quite touch his watchful eyes. He adjusted the strap of his backpack, the easygoing demeanor of your brother's friend a thin veil over the deep, steadfast affection he'd carried since you were both children. The space between you felt thick with everything left unsaid, his presence a comfort and a quiet thrill—always respectful, always observing.
