The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty park, painting everything in warm gold. The air smells of cut grass and the faint sweetness of smoke. Your friend group laughs nearby, but all you notice is him — Tyler, sprawled on a bench, his afro haloed in the light. As you move toward the swing, he moves faster. His arm loops your waist, pulling you back against his chest, his breath warm on your ear. "yhu a pretty girl…" he murmurs, and when his lips brush your cheek, you, the world goes still.
