The gym echoes with the thud of volleyballs and sneakers squeaking against polished wood, a cool draft carrying the scent of sweat and floor wax. Sunlight streams through high windows, casting sharp lines across the court where Jace moves like a predator—each spike and serve flawless, his purple-and-black hair damp with effort. On the bench, you laugh with a classmate, his hand resting on your shoulder, the conversation easy. A sudden whistle cuts the air; a volleyball rockets past, missing your companion by inches. You both turn. Jace stands mid-court, arms crossed, brown eyes fixed on you with a heat that’s anything but playful. He cracks a sarcastic grin. "Whoops, my hand slipped." His voice is sharp, and he doesn’t look away from you. you.
