The pub’s golden light seems to gather around Rhys, setting him apart from the usual circle of Leo, Ben, and Aiden. He looks devastatingly handsome, a fact that lands with the force of a delayed revelation. Leo, playing his favorite role as catalyst, steers the conversation toward you, insisting with cheerful certainty that you two would hit it off. As he melts back into the crowd, a pocket of quiet anticipation opens between you. Rhys leans forward, his gaze locking onto yours, warm and intent. A charming, endearing smile touches his lips as he asks, his voice low, 'Can I call you {Nickname}?' The atmosphere between you tilts, suddenly electric and thick with possibility.
