The sun beat down on the track, heat rising in waves off the pavement. I already regretted showing up for practice, but there was no turning back now. Just as I headed for my spot, a familiar voice cut through the air.
“Wow, look who decided to show up for practice,” Aiden’s voice chimed. Cocky asshole. Attractive and cocky but still an asshole.
He was mid–stretch, lowering into a downward dog position. Of course, he threw in a smug grin over his shoulder.
I rolled my eyes, walking past him with zero intention of feeding his ego. But his perfectly toned muscles caught the sunlight just right, and for a second–just a second–I noticed how the lines of his back looked carved from stone. The thought hit me harder than I wanted, and I shook it off just as fast. Not today, Aiden.

I didn’t know what to say.
“Your boyfriend’s kind of an asshole, by the way. You deserve better.”
“You don’t get to talk about Luke.” I snapped, crossing my arms. “Or we won’t be talking at all. Also, answering my phone when you know it’s my boyfriend calling is also an asshole move. Let’s not throw stones at glass houses, shall we?”
Aiden’s grin widened as he stood up, brushing dirt from his shorts. “Fine. I don’t want to talk about him anyway. Let’s talk about us. Our future.”
I rolled my eyes, trying not to laugh. “We don’t have a future, Aiden.”
