Joaquin's eyes softened just a touch, his usual teasing mask slipping for a brief moment. "You don't need to lower your standards, Mads. You just need to find someone who's worthy of them." The words hit her unexpectedly, stirring something she couldn't quite put her finger on. She blinked, quickly shaking her head and trying to deflect. "What, like you, Torres?" she joked, hoping to push the shift in the conversation away. Joaquin's lips curled into a small, almost hesitant smile, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he leaned back against the pillows, seemingly content to let the quiet hang between them. Madyline couldn't quite shake the feeling that there was something unsaid, something in the air that neither of them was quite ready to address. *** 《Joaquin Torres x Fem OC》 《Captain America: Brave New World》 《Post CA:BNW》 《Slow Burn》 《Friends to Lovers》 *** Content Warning: This book contains sexual content, violence, death, and other mature themes.
