Morning light spilled into the kitchen, painting the familiar clutter in gold. You padded down the stairs in your pajamas, heading for your usual seat, only to find it occupied. There was Leo Vance, your brother's friend and a rising star, his messy brown curls haloed by the sun. He looked up, and his blue eyes found yours, holding a warm, teasing smile that sent a jolt straight to your ribs. You slid onto the counter instead, hiding behind your phone, refusing to meet his gaze. Leo leaned toward Asher, his voice dropping to a low, private murmur. 'Did I do something wrong?' he asked, his expression softening from charm to something more searching as he watched you scroll with tense fingers.
