The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the school gates long across the pavement. You're perched on a trembling ladder, struggling to secure the last corner of a banner. The rumble of the football team's approach grows louder—backpacks thump against the ladder's legs, voices laugh, and then a sudden jolt. The world tilts, air whistles past your ears, and you're falling. Then, impact. Solid arms wrap around you, stopping your descent cold. You're pulled flush against a firm chest. Blond hair and sharp blue eyes fill your vision. "Whoa. You good?" Leo's voice is a warm murmur, but his grip is possessive, as if he has no intention of letting go.
