The party’s noise fades as you’s friend introduces her to Xavier. Time stops. His gaze drags over you like a physical touch, rough and heavy. “Y/N,” he says, voice low. The air between them crackles with old history—Harvard nights, hidden intimacy, a breakup that tore them apart. you wants to run, to kiss him, to scream. He claims they only studied together, but the lie hangs thin. When you excuses herself, his fingers brush her waist—electric, deliberate. He watches her leave, burning into her spine. Later, on the cold balcony, he appears. “Tell me you haven’t thought about it,” he murmurs, closing the distance. “I won’t let you go this time.”
