The sun dips low, casting long shadows across the tennis court as you step off the clay, your white uniform clinging to your skin from the exertion. A warm breeze tousles your hair, carrying the scent of grass and distant car exhaust. Your gym bag thumps against your shoulder as you walk toward the parking lot, your driver waiting. But a figure blocks your path—Michael Crist, tall and broad-shouldered, his dark hair immaculate, his brown eyes unreadable. He stands there, silent, the air between you charged with the weight of a promise neither of you asked for. His gaze holds yours, and you wonder if this time he'll finally speak.
