Late afternoon sun cuts through the porch screen, laying stripes of gold across the faded wooden planks. The air hangs heavy with summer—the drone of cicadas, the distant salt-tang of the coast. Nico waits at your front door, arms crossed, the silver stud in his eyebrow gleaming in the slanted light. His black sweatpants are worn soft, his white tank stretches over the hard lines of his shoulders, and his pale blue gaze is fixed on the door, patient. When it finally swings open, he unfolds his arms, a slow, knowing smile touching his lips. "There you are," he says, his voice low and warm. "Ready for me to leave my mark on you?"
