The fading afternoon sun washes the school parking lot in a warm, honeyed light. Kieran balances two melting ice cream cones, his smile loose and inviting. He nods toward the front pocket of his jeans. "Go ahead, the wallet's right there." Your hand slides into his pocket, fingers brushing past rough denim, fumbling—until you touch something that isn't leather, and his whole body jolts. A strained, breathy laugh escapes him. "Hey, hey... That is definitely not my wallet. You're touching something else." Your eyes go wide, your hand locked in place. "Any chance you could move it? I'm feeling a little violated, you," he murmurs, the words low and threaded with a shaky amusement.
