Gabriel’s POV

As I approached Sergio on the golf course, I could already see the smug grin plastered on his face. His arms spread wide as he shouted across the green, loud enough for everyone to hear, “That’s the Gabe I know! Late, hungover, but still handsome as ever!

I was expecting nothing less, and you didn’t disappoint!”

I gritted my teeth, lowering my shades slightly. “Go to hell, Serg,” I muttered under my breath as we stood face to face. He knew how much I hated being the center of attention, and yet he never missed a chance to make me the center of it.

Sergio pulled his shades up to rest on his head, his grin widening. “Don’t you just feel better already?” he teased, waving a hand at the beautiful golf course around us. “The sun’s not too high, the greens are perfect, and you’re here with me. Isn’t this just the perfect way to spend your Friday morning?”

I gave him a tight, fake smile. “Yeah, sure, fantastic,” I mumbled. Though, as much as I hated to admit it, he wasn’t wrong. Being outdoors, on the course, did feel better. I felt more like myself. And golf was a great distraction from the chaos of last night. Still, I wasn’t about to admit that to him.

“Let the games begin!” Sergio declared, gripping his golf club and taking a dramatic swing in the air. “Despite your dark shades and that sorry state, I’ll still beat your ass.”

I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “Let’s see about that,” I retorted, adjusting my grip on my club.

Gabriel’s energy was infectious, and for the first time all morning, I found myself relaxing.

After nearly an hour, I stood victorious, leaning on my club with a smirk plastered on my face.

Sergio wiped his forehead with a towel, his face glowing with satisfaction despite his loss. “Gabe! You cheated, as usual,” Sergio blurted out, his tone full of mock outrage. His face scrunched up like a child who had just lost a game of marbles.
