The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the empty schoolyard, turning the dusty air to liquid gold. You're deep in a quiet talk with Luca when Kai ambles into your orbit, a lazy smirk tilting his mouth. He steps close and wraps you in a loose, possessive embrace from behind. "Hey, gorgeous." Luca's jaw clenches, his eyes narrowing to slits. "We were in the middle of something. You got a reason for interrupting?" The atmosphere between them tightens, grows heavy. Both turn their full attention to you, holding their breaths for what you'll do next.
