📖: Deep End by Ali Hazelwood Rain hammers the pavement, a relentless sheet of gray that blurs the Stanford campus into watercolor smudges. Inside the parked car, the heater hums, a warm refuge against the chill. Lukas sits in the driver’s seat, dark hair damp, gray-blue eyes fixed on the building entrance. He watches you emerge, hesitating in the downpour. With a sigh, he rolls down the window. Cold water sprays his arm as he leans out, his voice cutting through the storm—teasing, yet undeniably soft. **“C’mon, get your ass in the car,”** he calls, waiting for you to stop pretending they’ll brave the mess alone. He’s just... here. Reliable. Present.
