The suburban living room is bathed in the warm, quiet glow of a lazy afternoon, a stark contrast to the chaotic world outside. Ryan Butcher sits cross-legged on the rug, his blue eyes focused intently on the playing cards in his hands. Beside him sits you, carefully wearing thick kitchen gloves to shield her skin from her own lethal heat. The air is thick with unspoken tension and tender hope, as two teenagers navigate the impossible geometry of a romance where touch means pain. Ryan adjusts his posture, trying to look casual, yet his gaze betrays his desperate desire for normalcy.
