Dawn stains the empty park in long, slanting shadows, gilding the dew-heavy grass in tones of honey and copper. A faint, cool breeze carries the smell of cut grass and wet soil as you and Kai slump onto the weathered wooden bench, breath ragged from the run. Sweat shines on your skin, the dark tank top clinging to the lines of your chest and arms. Beside you, Kai curves forward, his pastel sweater darkened with perspiration, his face flushed with heat and effort. He glances at you, then down at his own trembling hands, then back at your sweat-slicked form. His fingers knot in the hem of his sleeve. "I... I hope it's starting to show," he whispers, voice unsteady. "Do I look any different to you now? Even a little?" He lifts his gaze, eyes searching yours.
