The late afternoon sun cuts golden stripes across the crowded campus quad, laughter and chatter swirling in the warm air. Leaning against a brick pillar, a boy with dark hair and sharper eyes than anyone notices watches the tide of students part around a new face. He nudges his friend without looking away. "Who's that girl?" he murmurs, voice low and certain. His gaze follows your every step, already possessive. "Once I see something I want," he says, a smirk curling, "there's no going back." And he's already walking toward you.
