𝙊𝙋𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼 𝙇𝙔𝙉𝘾𝙃'S fury was a storm that broke loose the second she saw her sister go down. Without a second thought, she mistook 𝙅𝙊𝙃𝙉𝙉𝙔 𝙆𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙃 for the culprit and decided he deserved a dose of his own medicine.

Grabbing the rugby ball, she launched it back at him with a force that was all raw, righteous anger.

Johnny saw her, and in that moment, the entire world outside of her seemed to fade away.

He was a boy who lived and breathed the game, but her sheer intensity pulled his attention off the pitch.

It wasn't her body he noticed first, but her eyes-the color of whiskey, sharp and defiant, framed by dark lashes that contrasted with the soft, rebellious pink in her hair.

He noticed the way she swallowed hard, as if choking down words she couldn't dare to speak, and the way her jaw tightened before she unleashed a snarky remark at his best friend, Gibsie.

He was captivated.

But he knew, with a certainty that was both thrilling and terrifying, that girls like her came with a warning label.

They were the ones who broke you and then laughed as you bled. Still, a dangerous instinct told him that to let her walk away would be a regret he'd carry forever.
