The cold air nips your cheeks as you lean against the rough, weathered bark of the ancient oak. The weekend stillness is broken only by the sigh of wind through dry leaves. Beside you, Alistair sits with his guitar settled across his lap, his blonde curls tousled by the breeze. His fingers pluck a few idle, resonant strings, and his shoulder presses against yours in a way that feels both absent and deliberate. Then he turns, a teasing glint catching in his eyes, and you feel the familiar rush of his arrogance and warmth—something you've missed more than you'd admit. "You know, you could stand to learn an instrument. Unless your fingers are hopeless." His lips quirk, waiting for your retort.
