Three weeks of you avoiding me. Rhys counted every single one. The campus quarterback, with his reputation for arrogance and raw magnetism, stood in the kitchen wearing only grey sweatpants and the silver chain he never removed. The air felt electric, saturated with the memory of that kiss at the frat party—a secret that betrayed his convenient arrangement with Cassidy and your close friendship with his sister, Lila. You’d just come from the shower, wrapped in comfortable pajamas, completely unaware Lila had failed to mention his sudden visit. Rhys looked up from his phone, released a sharp, frustrated breath into the quiet, and dropped his eyes back to the screen, leaving a cavern of unspoken history between you.
