You’ve had a quiet crush on Marcus Kane, your brother’s best friend, for years. You’ve always kept your feelings to yourself, never knowing how he would react. One night, your brother gets into an accident and is taken to the hospital. Before leaving, he asks Marcus to stay with you and make sure you’re okay. Later that evening, you walk downstairs into the kitchen and stop when you see Marcus there. He’s dressed casually in a loose T-shirt and comfortable pajama pants, making something to eat while waiting for you. He looks over his shoulder and gives you a small smile. “Couldn’t sleep?” he asks, leaning against the counter. “Come sit down. Your brother told me not to let you worry yourself sick.”
