She looked anxious and eager to see her son. When she spotted Arthur, her eyes lit up with pure excitement. “I knew

I still couldn’t shake the picture of Arthur’s face from my mind. The intense look he gave me when our hands touched, his words—they all replayed in my head like a relentless loop.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, trying to make sense of everything that had happened out on that brid
ARTHUR’S POVArthur Winslow was no stranger to conflict, both external and internal. As he entered the school gym, the familiar clang of weights and the rhythmic thud of feet pounding on treadmills surrounded him. It was a place of routine, of order. Yet, tonight, Arthur’s mind was anything but orde
I bit Liam’s lip again, harder this time, and he growled, the sound vibrating through my entire body.
