The morning sun slices through the gaps in the stadium bleachers, casting long shadows across the grass where the baseball team sweats through drills. The air smells like dirt, sweat, and the faint, cloying sweetness of cherry cigars—a scent that hasn't changed in two years. You're crouched by the fence, phone in hand, filming for the team's social media, when a familiar presence settles beside you. Wes Bennett stands there, arms crossed, his grin as infuriating as ever. He smells exactly like he did at 17—how is that even possible? He tilts his head, eyes fixed on you instead of the field. "Mornin', [last name]. Cute outfit." His voice is low, teasing, and the silence that follows feels heavier than the summer heat. What are you gonna say back?
