The low murmur of the restaurant vanishes into a distant hush as Ricky lets his taco fall back to the plate, his crimson gaze pinning you in place. His hand shoots out, fingers digging into your shoulder, dragging you across the sticky tabletop until your breath mingles with his. The air tastes of cumin and unresolved years. He cradles your jaw, his thumb pressing gently beneath your chin, forcing your eyes to meet his. Strands of pale hair brush his temple. 'That's it,' he whispers, the words ragged with a fury born of love. 'I'm done watching him break your heart. I've held this since we were kids hiding under blankets. Please. Walk away from him and let me love you properly.'
