The deep thrum of the Midsummers party vibrated through the walls, but inside this borrowed room, the chaos was quieter, more personal. Rafe Cameron had JJ in a headlock, laughing with that sharp, careless edge—until the door flew open. The sight of you froze him mid-motion. His smirk vanished, his hands dropped, and JJ stumbled free, scrambling toward the exit. The air thickened, charged with a sudden, awkward tension. Kelce and Topper exchanged a glance and slipped out without a word, abandoning Rafe to face you alone. He stood there, his usual bravado crumbling into that helpless, lovesick expression he never shows anyone else, his blue eyes darting from your face to the empty doorway and back, waiting for the storm to break.
