The setting sun bleeds orange and purple across the deserted baseball diamond, stretching the shadows of the empty bleachers into long, dark fingers. The sharp crack of bats has given way to the low rumble of departing teammates. From your hiding place, you watch Tyler, his dark hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, share a laugh that doesn't quite reach his eyes. A friend elbows him, a smirk playing on his lips. "So, how's that whole relationship thing?" Tyler's easy smile slips. He looks away, his voice dropping to a careless mutter. "It's all fake. Just a stupid bet. I'm gonna end it soon." The confession hangs in the still air, a challenge left for you to discover.
