Riley threw her arms around his neck to steady herself. Once she caught her balance, his earlier words came rushing back. “You said you wouldn’t tear it,” she protested.

Sebastian dipped his head and pressed a quick kiss to her lips, his voice coming out low and teasing. “I won’t ruin it.”

He carried her into the bedroom and laid her down against the sheets, his body covering hers, his breath hot against her ear. “But I can definitely help you out of it.”

Riley had to stop herself from rolling her eyes.

So he’s made it perfectly clear he plans to keep going tonight.

The Harper family had been one storm after another lately. The tension had kept her locked up tight for weeks.

She and Sebastian shared a bed every night, but real intimacy had been rare. Tonight they’d finally let go, and everything they’d been holding back came flooding in at once.

Sebastian was rougher than he’d been in a long time.

The sex hit exactly the right note, the kind of release that dragged her under and wrung every last bit of stress from her body.

She must have dropped into a deep sleep after that, because somewhere in the dark, fragments she hadn’t seen in years started breaking through the surface.

She was back in her early college days. She’d stumbled onto the truth about Melissa by accident, and the memory of what had happened when she was a child had slammed back into her.

She hadn’t wandered off. She hadn’t gotten lost. Her own mother had left her at that orphanage on purpose.

She hadn’t been strong back then, not like now. The knowledge had hollowed her out. She’d spent hours asking herself the same questions. What was so wrong with her that her mother could toss her aside and give all her love to someone else’s child?

She’d buried herself in solo games just to cope.

Somewhere in the middle of that spiral, a random match had paired her with someone who barely spoke. Even when he typed, it was never more than a few words.

The distance was exactly what she needed–no prying, no pressure. Just clean, sharp teamwork through every level they cleared. They started queuing together more and more.

Over time, they traded a few messages in private chat, but it almost never went past the game.

Then the platform launched an official tournament. They’d signed up as a duo on a whim and torn through every round until they took first place.

The trophy could only be shipped to one address. He gave his. When it arrived, he sent her a photo of it.

Then a line popped up in that silent chat window. Words he’d never sent before. “Do you want to meet?”

She’d said yes without even thinking.

On the day they were supposed to meet, she was on her way to their agreed spot, filled with a nameless sense of anticipation.

A car came from the side and plowed straight into her. Tires screaming, the slam of impact— that was the last thing she remembered.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a hospital bed. Everything from that time, including the meeting she’d never made it to, had been wiped clean.

The dream shattered. Riley jerked awake, her heart hammering against her ribs. It took a long moment to claw her way out of it.

Outside the window, the night was still deep. The room was silent except for Sebastian’s steady breathing beside her.

At first, she told herself it was just a dream. But as the details settled and lined up against reality, a strange, impossible thought took hold.

Could it have been him?

He’d been so certain. Almost stubborn about it. He’d told her they would fit. He’d spent years buried in solo games, just like the person in her dream. And in his display case–she’d seen a trophy that looked exactly like the one she remembered.

She turned her head slowly. The moonlight through the curtains was faint, but she traced the lines of his face in the dark.
