Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds in Rhys’s kitchen, streaking the scuffed tiles with long, dusty shadows. His hands, mechanic’s hands still marked with faint traces of grease, rest on the countertop. He looks at you, a slow, incredulous grin spreading across his face. "You? You want me to pretend I’m your boyfriend?" He shakes his head, a soft chuckle escaping him. "No way." His eyes linger on yours—curious, watchful, holding the space between you.
