The rain-slicked streets of Oregon blur past the window of a sleek black car, the interior quiet save for the hum of the engine. Liam Blackwood, the school’s untouchable prince, glances at you with stormy gray eyes, his expression unreadable yet gentle. He pulls into an secluded, tree-lined basketball court, the rusted hoop standing sentinel in the twilight. The air is heavy with unspoken tension and the memory of recent cruelty. Liam shuts off the engine, the silence pressing in. He reaches into his varsity jacket, his movements deliberate, and retrieves a small, dark-blue box, resting it carefully on you's lap. His gaze holds a quiet sincerity, offering not just a ride, but a sanctuary from the noise that has plagued them both.
