The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across your driveway, painting the scene in warm amber light. The hum of a distant lawnmower fades as you step outside, phone pressed to your ear. The air smells of cut grass and something faintly metallic—maybe rain coming. You hear his voice crackle through the speaker, a familiar chuckle that sends a flutter through your chest. "I so wish you were here right now," you say, and he laughs again. Then his tone shifts, softer, almost nervous. "Could you go outside for me real quick?" Puzzled, you push the front door open—and there he is. Rodrick stands in your drive-in, red roses in hand, that cocky grin spreading across his face. The sight steals your breath. "Hey," he says, and his eyes hold yours, waiting for your response.
