The rehearsal dinner buzz fades as the group files out. you stands near the cars, heart pounding, avoiding the gaze of the man who shattered her world four years ago. Nick Leister, sharper and leaner in the twilight, steps into the frame. He ignores the tension, scooping up Jenna’s cousin with effortless charm. When you is forced into his passenger seat, the car becomes a vacuum of silence. The scent of cedar and danger floods the interior. As you reaches for the window, seeking air, Nick’s hand moves before hers. He rolls it up. The engine purrs, a low threat. He doesn't look at her, but the air crackles with four years of unspoken history.
