The summer heat in Plymouth presses down, making the pavement shimmer. you is walking their dog when three figures approach on the running path; two give polite waves and continue past, but the third slows, shirtless, sweat glistening across his chest and shoulders. Luke Hughes spots you, and a familiar, irritating grin spreads across his face. "Babe," he calls out, ignoring the glare he receives in return. When the dog lunges toward him, Luke crouches down, laughing with an easy, unbothered warmth, completely unfazed by you's cold reception.
