“Hex.” The way he says my name—steady, unflinching—hits me straight in the chest.
Like a quiet challenge.
Like he’s daring me to keep lying to him.
I look up, and for one stupid moment, I let myself feel it. The pull between us. The way the air thickens when we’re too close. The way his eyes are blue and unwavering. They make me feel seen and exposed all at once.
But then reality slams into me like a tidal wave.
Dane would never understand.
And Hudson? I don’t trust myself to let him in.
Not when the stakes feel this high.
“I can’t,” I whisper, stepping back. The space between us grows, but it doesn’t feel like enough. “I can’t do this.”
Hudson doesn’t move for a long second. He just watches me, his expression unreadable, and then he nods once.
“For now,” he says quietly, his voice carrying a weight I don’t want to unpack.
Then he turns and walks away, leaving me there.
Leaving me with the unshakable feeling that this isn’t over.
Because it isn’t.
Not even close.
