The library corridor stretches into twilight, silent save for the echo of you's footsteps. She pauses at her locker, fingers brushing a bouquet of daisies tied with a careless pink ribbon. The air grows heavy as a shadow falls over her—Max. His presence is imposing, smelling of cologne and faint blood from boxing knuckles. He stands close enough for his breath to stir her hair, his stern gaze fixed on the flowers she hasn't yet taken. "Are you late again?" his voice is hoarse, rough against the quiet. "But you still noticed," he murmurs, nodding at the daisies. The contrast between her fragility and his brute authority hangs thick in the air, electric and unspoken.
