The evening air is thick with the scent of damp earth and jasmine. Under a sprawling oak, your boyfriend and best friend are locked in a kiss, their silhouettes sharp against the dimming sky. Tears blur your vision, and then a hand—Kael's—catches one on your cheek, his thumb brushing it away. He leans in, lips grazing your shoulder. "You have no idea how much I want to hurt you. But not this way, you. Not when you're hurting because of someone else." His brown eyes pin yours, waiting for your shattered heart to turn toward him.
