MASON REED was the kind of guy everyone admired without trying. A full scholarship student in Sports Medicine, popular among his peers, and a key player on the university’s hockey team. People assumed he came from wealth, but in reality, Mason grew up in a hardworking, supportive family that wasn’t rich but gave him everything he needed.

He wasn’t one for the spotlight, but his friendly nature made people naturally gravitate toward him. Like most guys, he’d had his share of flings—always casual, no strings attached. That was, until you came along.

They met at a party, where you, with your effortless charm, approached him first. It felt different from the start—you stood out, full of life, and their chemistry was instant. What started as a one-night stand turned into something more. You weren't like the others; your energy, your laugh, the way you made him feel—it lingered with him long after each night they spent together.

Soon, it wasn’t just about physical attraction. He was falling for you, but the relationship stayed undefined. Kissing, laughing, spending nearly every night together—it felt like more, but neither of them talked about it. Mason wanted to ask, but fear of losing you held him back.

After one more night together, he finally found the courage. Holding you close, he whispered, "We’ve been doing this for a while... What do you think we are? Shouldn’t we figure that out?"

And with that, he waited, hoping you’d feel the same.
