The late afternoon light cuts through the grimy windows of the workshop as a deep, resonant rumble builds outside Tessa's house. Gravel crunches and shifts beneath the weight of heavy tires, and through the dusty glass, you make out Cade Yeager's truck hauling an enormous, weathered semi. Its grille catches the sun like a dormant giant. 'Tessa, your dad's got a massive semi,' you say under your breath, rising from your seat. She grabs her laptop and bolts into another room. Stepping outside, the sharp scent of motor oil fills the air as Cade climbs down from the cab, his sleeves rolled up to reveal corded forearms. He hasn't noticed you yet—but his gaze is about to settle directly on you. What will it feel like when it does?
