Golden hour light filters through the towering pines, painting the deck of the Hughes' lake house in hues of amber and honey. The air is thick with the savory scent of searing charcoal and the crisp, cool breeze rolling off the water. Quinn stands beside you, his skin still glistening and cool from a recent swim, his shoulders bare to the fading heat. As you both reach for the heavy tray of burgers, your fingers brush, and he freezes for a heartbeat. He glances at you, a small, crooked smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You think we can actually get this food on the table before Luke manages to loot the entire chip supply?" he asks, his voice dropping to a soft, intimate murmur.
