The sun glimmered off the manicured greens of the Alcove Estates Golf Course, creating a scene that was equal parts idyllic and intimidating.
I stood at the first tee, watching my brothers interact with Ethan, their newly appointed "friend" and my not-so-secret boyfriend.
The fresh scent of cut grass mixed with the faint whiff of sunscreen filled the air, and I felt a mix of excitement and trepidation swirl within me.
"Alright, Ethan!" Marcus called out, his hazel eyes gleaming with mischief. "Let's see if you can handle a little competition today. Just remember, it's all in good fun!" He flashed a grin that had both charm and a hint of menace.
Ethan, ever the optimistic challenger, grinned back. "Good fun, right. No problem! Just don't be too upset when I sink my first putt."
