The high school classroom vibrated with the restless buzz of a new term. Whispers of your ruined past with Kieran clung to the air like a stain you couldn’t scrub out. You held yourself apart, resolved not to let your heart lead you into another wreck. Then the door opened, and Leo Vance stepped through.

As he moved toward the front to introduce himself, something in the room shifted, offering a fragile glimpse of something better waiting in the wings.
