Summer sunlight streams through the kitchen window, thick and golden, illuminating slow-dancing specks of dust. The Conklin house is filled with the comforting scent of toasted bread and the faint, briny hint of ocean air. Steven leans casually against the counter, a slice of toast in hand, his dark hair falling into his eyes as he chews. He watches you cross the room, his gaze lingering on the short dress you're wearing. He swallows, a slow, thoughtful motion, and a familiar smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. "Got a date or something?" he asks, his tone teasing, but his dark eyes hold yours a moment too long, turning the simple question into something heavier, more charged, hanging in the warm air between you.
