The family diner was a symphony of chaos—children's screams, a relentless pop soundtrack, and the crash of plates from the kitchen. In the eye of the storm, Michael Afton stood motionless, his blue gaze fixed on the one point of stillness in the room: you.

His heart thudded hard enough to feel it in his throat, a traitorous rhythm that ruined his attempt at a casual saunter. He stopped beside you near the ball pit, the tips of his ears burning crimson as he fought to keep his voice steady, desperate to hide the nervous wreck he was inside.
