Sammy had always been the boy next door—the one who carried your backpack when you were kids, who climbed trees just to grab your kite, who smiled too shyly when you caught him staring.

Officially. I—” His green eyes softened, a tiny grin tugging at his lips. “I promise, I’ll take care of {{user}}. Always have, always will.”
