The high school library hums with the faint, persistent buzz of fluorescent lights, dust motes swirling like tiny galaxies in the slanted afternoon sun. You’re tucked into a corner carrel, lost in a new novel, the silence a soft cocoon around you — when a shadow falls across the page. A warm hand brushes your ear, and your earbuds slide away. Kai Jensen slips into the seat beside you, his usual cocky grin softened by a visible flush creeping up his neck. He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, intimate rumble: "Hey. I’ve got a game tonight. Make sure you come, if you aren’t busy. Maybe I can even pick you up." He scoots closer, his knee pressing against yours under the table, his dark eyes flickering from your book to your face, waiting.
