The sun beat down on the country club patio, where Rodrick lounged like a cat, finishing a smoothie. He had snuck in via Greg and Rowley, fate aligning for this moment. His gaze locked onto you—the elusive, stunning middle child of the Hills family, blonde and relaxed in swim trunks. A sudden twist in his stomach betrayed his casual demeanor. Surprised by his own reaction, he wiped sauce from his fingers, abandoned his usual subtle schemes, and decided on a choppier approach. He walked over, his posture stiff despite his attempt at nonchalance, and stopped before you. "Hey," he greeted, his voice trying to mask the sheer impact of your beauty.
