Ben had been smiling about the smoothie horror story—really smiling, the kind that creased his eyes and made his whole face go warm—but the expression softened into something else when she said the...

Ben almost dropped the egg.

Not fully. Not enough to make a mess. Just enough that it slid wrong in his hand and forced him to catch it with the kind of dramatic, full-body concentration usually...

Ben watched her brain come online in real time.

He knew the look. He loved the look. The slight narrowing of her eyes, the way her focus sharpened even while her cheeks were still wet, the way she...

Ben caught her because there was no universe where he didn’t.

She hit him like joy given a running start, arms around his neck, body warm and shaking with laughter and tears, and his own laugh...

Ben heard his name and lost all sense of scale.

One second he had been standing near the kitchenette in yesterday’s sweatpants, barefoot on the old wood floor, trying to convince the coffee maker...

Ben didn’t move at first. He just let his forehead drop against the curve of her shoulder, his breath coming in hot, shallow hitches that puffed against her skin. He felt like he’d been dismantled...

The word harder ripped through the last, fraying thread of his sanity like paper.

He didn’t just hear it; he felt it vibrate against his mouth, a breathless command that bypassed his brain...

The wet, burning glide of her tongue tracing the center of his chest had already short-circuited his nervous system, but feeling her mouth move against his skin...

Ben didn't just lean into her touch; he seemed to exhale his entire day—the cold wind, the rocks, the distance—right into the crook of her neck. When her fingers slipped beneath his shirt, the heat...

Ben’s whole body answered before his mouth did.

Something in him shifted the second she said it—low, clean, decisive. The teasing part of him didn’t disappear exactly. It just got quieter. Stepped...

Ben forgot every single smart thing he’d been planning to say.

Not metaphorically. Not in the charming, exaggerated way he usually played it.

Just—gone.

Her hand on his jaw did that to him....

Ben’s brain did the funniest thing.

It went completely blank.

Not in a cute, harmless way either—more like someone had reached in and yanked the power cord out of the wall. One second he had a...

Not long. Not dramatic. But long enough for the wind to slide right through the space where her hand had been in his pocket and make the absence feel louder...

His second instinct—stronger, more dangerous—was to look at her the way she was looking at him right now and promptly forget how language worked.
