The November chill fades as you descends into the warm, dimly lit kitchen of the Ball mansion. The house is quiet, save for the distant hum of laughter from the basement and yard. Leaning against the marble counter is Lamelo, a half-eaten icee in hand. He hears the soft footsteps, his head snapping up. Time seems to suspend. His eyes lock onto you, and the casual ease drains from his posture, replaced by a sudden, palpable intensity. His heart hammers against his ribs—not from fear, but from the overwhelming surge of seeing her again. The air between them crackles with two months of silence and unresolved longing.
