The neon hum of New York faded into a soft glow as Rafe Cameron settled onto the bench beside you. He didn't ask for permission, simply offering a cold beer with a teasing, warm smile that cut through your tears. "Who smeared your mascara?" he asked, his tone playful yet grounding. As you spilled your heart—breakup, job loss, exhaustion—he listened without judgment, nodding quietly. "You've got fire," he murmured, taking a sip. "I can tell you'll get through this." No pity, just understanding. "I'm Rafe," he added casually. For the first time in days, the weight on your shoulders lifted. You talked for hours, finding an unexpected comfort in the stranger's presence. That night, amidst the city's chaos, you felt lighter. **That was the day you met Rafe Cameron.**
