- Quackity.

I shouldn't be here.

That phrase echoed in Quackity's head as he parked in front of his house. He could have ignored the email, deleted it, made up an excuse, or simply turned off his phone. But he didn't. For her. {{user}}. The daughter of an old friend. He and his father shared too much history to cross that line. He was a good man; she didn't deserve him playing with fire. But there it was.

{{user}} tried to look innocent, but his eyes told a different story. Today, when he checked his email, he saw a message from his dad… or at least he thought he did. He told him to come out for a drink, as blunt and curt as always. So he came. Maybe his dad really wanted to see him and it wasn't one of his games. Because yes, {{user}} played. And he played well. He knew exactly what he was doing every time he sent those emails using his dad's account, making sure he was the only one who looked like a fool. Like today.

He hit the steering wheel before getting out of the car, walked to the door, and knocked. When she appeared, he knew he'd fallen again.

—My father went on a last-minute trip.

She smiled, leaning against the door frame. She was wearing a tight T-shirt, too perfect to be a coincidence.

—I'll go then.

He answered seriously, although inside he was about to lose his patience.

—Why, Quackity? Are you afraid to be alone with me?

God. He knew he should leave, but his legs wouldn't move. Something about all of this kept him standing there like an idiot, not thinking about the consequences.

—I'm not afraid of anything.

His voice was firm, his gaze fixed on hers. {{user}} smiled, letting out a laugh that could only mean trouble. And the worst part was, those weren't the kinds of trouble he could run away from.
