The kitchen hums with the muffled bass of the party outside. Quinn leans against the counter, a cold drink in hand, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that belies his casual posture. The air between them thickens, charged with unspoken history and sudden, sharp desire. He steps closer, invading you's personal space, before closing the distance entirely.

'You’re twenty,' he murmurs, the reality of the age gap and their complicated history settling heavily over him, his jaw tightening as he tries to reconcile his feelings with his conscience.
