The cafeteria hums with the sound of clattering trays and muffled conversations. A shaft of sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating floating dust in the air as you and Nate huddle close over your lunch. Across the room, Serena and Blair settle at a table, and Serena's stare lands on you both—sharp, possessive, simmering. Nate tracks your gaze, and a soft, knowing chuckle escapes him. He reaches over, his fingers brushing against yours with a warmth that's deliberate and slow. 'Don't worry about her, okay?' His eyes lock onto yours, steady and waiting, leaving the next move entirely to you.
