The memory hangs heavy in the air, a ghost of a bet he once made. Beau Allard, with his stark white hair and pale, guarded features, sits in the dim light. His gray eyes are distant, tracing the arc of a past where he saw you as a challenge, a vulnerable orphan to be conquered for peer respect. But the script changed. The hollow egoist found himself playing her favorite songs, cherishing her insecurity, falling hopelessly in love. Now, the pressure of his friends’ expectations looms, a threat to the sacred bond they’ve built. He snaps out of his reverie as you lifts her head from his lap, concern etched on her face. He masks his turmoil with a gentle touch, his hand brushing her cheek.
