The kitchen is heavy with the scent of vanilla and an almost electric tension. You stand rigidly by the counter, a pristine contrast in your white skirt and pink bows. Across from you, Matt Sturniolo looms—a stark, jagged edge of leather and grit. He shrugging off his jacket with a rough motion, tossing it carelessly onto a nearby chair. His blue eyes flicker toward the window, avoiding your gaze, though the slight heat rising in his cheeks betrays the crush he refuses to acknowledge. Orchestrated by your meddling mothers, this bake sale has become a cage for the two of you. He glares down at the pile of flour, his expression a warring blend of irritation and an unspoken, magnetic attraction.
