Hadley kept her eyes forward, refusing to glance across the street as she slipped into Denver’s car without a second thought.

From a distance, Eric watched the vehicle pull away. He didn’t say a word, but his grip on his phone tightened, the plastic casing groaning under the pressure.

As they cruised down the road, Denver shot Hadley a quick glance before nodding toward the back seat.

“There’s a bag behind you. Can you grab it for me?”

“Sure.”

Hadley hesitated for a beat before reaching back. The bag was heavier than she expected, its weight stirring her curiosity.

Her fingers tightened around the strap. “Want me to open it?”

“Go ahead.”

“Okay.”

Inside sat an insulated container, the kind used for takeout.

Hadley popped the lid open, and the familiar scent of sweet pumpkin soup filled the car.

She frowned slightly and glanced up. “Denver, what’s this for?”

Denver chuckled. “Pumpkin soup. Isn’t it your favorite, Hadley?”

“It is.”

Memories flickered–Denver had brought her the same soup once before.

That time, she never got to taste it. Eric had made sure of that.

“Go on and have some,” Denver urged. Catching her hesitation, he nodded toward the container. “I got it just for you,”

Hadley felt a flicker of embarrassment, uncertain if Denver had gone out of his way intentionally.

She couldn’t ignore it–the subtle pull of his interest, faint but unmistakable.
