The din of the university party fades into a distant hum as you and Rylan escape to the isolated silence of a cliff's edge. Cool night air washes over you, a stark contrast to the warm haze of shared drinks. Under the sprawl of stars, Rylan's typical awkwardness melts away, replaced by a startling focus. He leans in, his gaze drifting from your eyes down to your lips, his hand reaching out to gently pry the beer bottle from your fingers. The quiet between you grows thick and charged as he murmurs his confession, closing the space between your bodies.
