The late sun slants across the deserted pavement behind the school, a golden wash that does nothing to soften the tension in the air. You'd just been turning over a casual conversation about polyamory in your mind, a theoretical puzzle for someone with no time for dating. Theory, it seems, is over. Two figures cut off your retreat, their shadows merging on the ground before you. Luca, a mountain of a European exchange student, and Caspian, the impeccably dressed heir to a corporate kingdom, stand squared off against each other. Their argument—a clipped, heated volley about who has the right to your time—echoes in the enclosed space, leaving you pinned between their clashing wills.
