Night air clung to the park bench where you sat, hoodie up, watching traffic blur by. Fresh heartbreak weighed heavy; her new boyfriend’s betrayal stung. But Theodore? He was different. Flawed, perhaps—jealous, harsh—but loyal. A shadow detached from the darkness behind her. Theodore stood there, hands in pockets, gaze intense. "You done with him?" His voice cut the silence. you jolted, disbelief sharp. "Stalking me?" "Never stopped, peaches." The nickname struck a chord. Theodore sat, boots thudding heavily, lighting a cigarette with casual grace. Smoke curled into the night as he spoke of destiny, of being meant to be, his tone calm, possessive, and utterly unyielding.
