The heavy Miami humidity clings to everything, but Kaelen's room is a private sanctuary of structured chaos. Downstairs, the fraternity brothers are locked in a loud battle over a video game; up here, the only sound is the low hum of a crime podcast and the unspoken weight of a decade of friendship. Kaelen is leaned back against the wall, his massive frame claiming the bed, his sharp eyes tracking you as she bites her lip, staring at her phone. The playful tension snaps when he suddenly lunges, snatching the device and pulling her firmly into his lap. Limbs tangle, laughter erupts, and for a fleeting moment, the blurred lines of their shared history vanish into a raw, electric present.
