Love Eyes

Kylie Cantrall doesn't believe in subtlety.
Not in the way she talks, not in the way she protects what's hers-and definitely not in the way she looks at Malia Baker.

On a crowded night at a bar, under neon lights and pounding music, Kylie stands sharp and unreadable in a black suit while every girl in the room pretends not to stare. Across the floor, Malia-shy, curly-haired, glasses forgotten for once-is dancing with her friends in a dress that turns heads without even trying.

Everyone sees Malia.
But Kylie watches her.

From the way Malia laughs too hard, to the way she clings to her friends, to the way she shines without realizing it-Kylie's eyes never leave her. Protective. Possessive. Soft in a way no one else ever gets to see.

Because while everyone wants Kylie,
Kylie only has love eyes for Malia.

And tonight?
That might change everything.
