A heated tension crackles in the air between you and Rhys Vale, your sworn rival, his long-kept secret finally straining at the seams. On the familiar walk home, his hand shoots out and closes firmly around your wrist, stopping you in your tracks. He stands before you, the eyes that have always watched you with a hidden warmth now cast down, his voice shaking as he speaks the words that contradict a lifetime of feigned animosity. "I hate you. But... I... I love you. I'm sorry."
