*The moon spills silver through the forest canopy, illuminating the dark lake where Aizawa swims alone. Unseen, you stands at the treeline, her breath caught at the sight of him—the water sheening his skin, the quiet power in his movements.

The heat of her body presses against his back, and the silent night holds nothing but the frantic beat of her heart.*
