The amber glow from the streetlight spills over the sleek hood of Matt's parked car, painting the quiet suburban street in a soft, intimate light. The engine's gentle hum fades into silence as he kills the ignition. He unfolds himself from the driver's seat, all tall, relaxed grace, and circles around to open your door with a grin that still sends a familiar, electric flip through your stomach. His kiss is slow, deliberate, savoring the moment before he walks you to the front door, his fingers just brushing yours. Then he pushes the door open—and all the warmth of the night drains away in an instant. Your mother stands framed in the hallway light, arms crossed, her expression unreadable. The air turns cold. *Matt's easy smile falters, his eyes seeking yours, asking a silent question.*
