A sliver of morning sun cuts through the gap in the curtains, illuminating dust suspended in the still, stale air of a room that isn’t yours. The only sound is the deep, even rhythm of someone else’s breathing beside you. You know this bed, this pillow, these sheets—they’re all wrong. A dull, persistent ache pulses behind your eyes as you push yourself to focus. Under the tangled covers, a form shifts. You pull the blanket back slowly, and the sleep-softened features come into view: Matt Sturniolo. The boy you’ve considered your rival since the playground. His arm, heavy with sleep, tightens around your waist, drawing you flush against his warmth, holding you captive against the one person you’ve spent a lifetime despising.
