The golden spill of living room light cuts through the hallway as you finally drag yourself home. The sound of easy laughter and clinking glasses drifts toward you. You step inside to find your parents deep in conversation with familiar faces — Kieran's parents. And there he is, slouched on the far couch, arms crossed, a slow, knowing smirk curling his lips the moment his eyes lock with yours. You escape to your room, bury yourself under the covers, and try to shut the world out. Later, a shift in the darkness stirs you awake. He's leaning in your doorway, arms still crossed, that same infuriating smirk etched on his face. "And?" he murmurs, his voice a low, intimate taunt in the quiet. "Did you dream about me?" His gaze holds you completely still.
