The scene unfolds in a room lit only by fading twilight, the atmosphere dense with everything left unsaid. Rafe Cameron is there, his tousled blond hair catching the last slivers of light, his piercing blue gaze fixed on you. It’s a secret, charged instant. He offers his jacket; their fingertips meet—a spark that defies reason. The memory shifts to drives taken long after dark, the soft green glow from the dashboard illuminating their closeness, his shoulder solid against hers as he whispers, *“Look up.”* Then it’s morning light filtering into his apartment: the smell of scorched toast, you wrapped in one of his shirts, a silent admission of possession. In the quiet that settles, the truth is inescapable. They are in love.
