Sunlight pools on the cobbled street, warming the air as you walk with your friends, their laughter a bright soundtrack to the afternoon. The ghost of your parents' edicts—*marry well, marry a name*—whispers at the edge of your thoughts, but you shove it down. Then your gaze snags on a group of guys lounging nearby. One stands apart. His cap casts a shadow over his eyes, but you catch the swing of his dreadlocks and the flash of a lip ring. He's just a boy from a different world, but the sight of him makes your breath catch. Tom looks up, meets your stare, and a slow, knowing smile curves his mouth. What do you feel when he starts walking your way?
