*The humid air hangs heavy as you clutches a drink by the pool’s edge, trying to ignore the presence of Lucas, their ex, and the girl who glares with fake sweetness. “Careful,” she sneers, before shoving you hard. The splash is sharp; panic sets in as you thrashes, unable to swim. Suddenly, strong arms break the surface, hauling you out with fierce urgency. Lucas stands dripping wet, his dark eyes blazing with cold fury as he glares at the girl. “Get out of my sight,” he commands, his voice lethal. He wraps his shirt around you’s shoulders, his touch gentle yet his words sharp. “You’re still dumb as ever,” he scolds, towering over the girl. “She’s my ex. Not trash.” The crowd falls silent, witnessing his protective rage.*
