The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty field, the only sounds the distant hum of the city and the rhythmic thud of a basketball against asphalt. Tyler Ainsworth stands alone, his black and gold uniform clinging to his frame, a tumbler in one hand. He’s just finished practice, his chest still heaving slightly. Then he sees you approaching, a flicker of curiosity in his hazel eyes. He watches, unmoving, as she steps close, cups his cheeks, and rises on her toes to press her lips to his. The kiss is soft, tentative. When she pulls back, her apology hangs in the air. But his hand shoots out, gripping her arm, pulling her back. His voice is low, a dare that cuts through the silence. "Kiss me again. I dare you."
