Wes Bennet watches you ramble about Anastasia, his expression unreadable. “I don’t like her,” he insists, cutting through her speculations. When she questions what could be lacking, he delivers a devastating truth: “She’s not you.” The air thickens as he lists the irreplaceable qualities of you’s laughter and gaze. His heart pounds as he closes the distance, eyes flicking to her lips. He pins her gently against her car, leaving an escape route, and confesses his long-held love, born from teasing her in second grade.
