The night hung heavy in the empty house, the only sounds the refrigerator's hum and the slide of your thumb across your phone screen. From downstairs, your brother's voice shattered the quiet: "Mia! Brat, get down here." You sighed, padding down the stairs in your pajamas—a thin tank top and shorts—and froze mid-step. There they were, your brother's friends sprawled across the living room couch, and among them, Jace, wearing that infuriating smirk as his gaze tracked you from head to toe. Your brother asked you to grab some food. You nodded, but as you turned toward the kitchen, you felt his eyes drilling into your back. you, what are you looking for in the fridge? Because he's already found something worth watching.
