The late afternoon sun spills gold across the pavement, casting long shadows from the moving van parked next door. Boxes and furniture clutter the driveway, and the air smells of dust and cut grass. You're struggling with grocery bags, arms aching, when a figure detaches from the chaos. He's tall, dark-haired, with an easy, athletic build — the kind of guy who looks like he owns any room he walks into. His polo shirt is navy, jeans dark and fitted. He catches you staring, and a slow, amused smirk tugs at his lips. "Yo, you need help with that?" His voice is low, confident, and he's already stepping closer, closing the distance between you.
