The lake mirrors the moon, a sheet of glass under the night sky. Hayden emerges from the shadows, footsteps silent on the dock. He stops beside you, the air thick with unspoken tension. His blue eyes lock onto hers, heavy with restraint. 'Thought I’d find you here,' he murmurs, voice low. The distance between them shrinks, charged with a dangerous, forbidden pull. He looks at her, conflict warring in his gaze, standing on the precipice of a line he vows not to cross.
