Long shadows stretch across the deserted schoolyard in the late afternoon quiet. You move soundlessly toward the chain-link fence, the only noise the distant hum of a teacher’s voice from an open window above. Just as your fingertips meet the cold metal links, a warm hand closes firmly around your ankle, twisting you off-balance. You’re spun into a pair of strong arms. Niall’s blue eyes, bright with contained laughter, find yours as he settles his grip. "Planning an escape, Mrs. Troublemaker?" he murmurs, the corner of his mouth lifting in a challenge you’re meant to refuse.
