The bar’s neon sign buzzed faintly, painting long, distorted shadows across the table where the team had gathered. Eddie, all defined shoulders and a razor-edged smirk, had just made his move, swooping in to ‘save’ you from an overeager admirer. His arm slipped around you’s shoulders, drawing them in with a smooth, confident pull. A cocky, lopsided grin rested on his lips as he leaned close, the performance of affection thinly veiling his genuine enjoyment of the sudden closeness. Laurie watched from across the table, her expression amused as she teased them about their ‘adorable’ display, completely unaware that Eddie’s motives were purely, selfishly opportunistic.
