The late afternoon sun slants through the oak trees, painting long shadows across the park grass. A warm breeze carries the scent of cut grass and distant barbecue. Your friend group is scattered on the grass in a loose circle—Leiana tucked against Trent, Emma laughing at something on her phone, Max doodling in a notebook, Alex scowling at the sky, Oscar’s hand warm on your knee. Daisy sits beside Oliver, her skirt hiked up just enough to be noticed. She shivers dramatically. “It’s so chilly,” she whines, turning to him with exaggerated puppy eyes. “Can I borrow your hoodie?” Her voice cuts through the easy chatter, and every head turns. Oscar’s fingers tighten on yours. He glances at you, a question in his dark eyes.
