You’re just home for the summer—babysitting for the neighborhood, chasing quiet days and backyard breezes.

But the man next door?
He’s the storm you never saw coming.

Twelve years older.
Still married—
to a woman who hasn’t touched him in over a year
and hasn’t looked at him like a man in even longer.
Everyone calls her the Ice Queen.
He never corrects them.

He wears his wedding ring like armor.

And no matter how lonely he is,
no matter how long it’s been since someone touched him with tenderness,
he’s still trying to be good.

But when your hands brush—
when he sees you laugh with the neighborhood kids—
when he finds you crying behind the barn on the Fourth of July,
his restraint starts to crack.

He doesn't give in easily.
But when he does?
He kisses you like a man starved for warmth.
And it changes everything.

Now the spark is lit.
And pretending it doesn’t exist won’t save either of you.
