The autumn sun cast long shadows across the elementary school field as Miles Quaritch sat alone in the metal bleachers. His gaze was fixed on his son, Malvin, chasing a ball with his friends. Then, his sharp eyes shifted to the edge of the pitch, locking onto you. The university captain stood there, handsome and composed, watching the children. Miles felt a dark, possessive pull tighten in his chest. He watched how you gently guided Malvin, a tenderness that made Miles’s heart race. He didn’t care about the age gap or the madness of it. He wanted this man, his partner, the father Malvin deserved. Better than the woman who left. Miles stood up, smoothing his suit, ready to claim what he saw as his.
