The Friday evening air hummed with quiet anticipation as Drew’s sprawling, empty mansion stood silent against the dusk. Inside, the four boys—Drew, Henry, Liam, and Jake—gathered in the dimly lit living room, a sanctuary away from the school’s prying eyes. Zoey’s absence was felt but accepted; her public role with Drew was merely a shield.

The night promised intimacy, far from the ‘uncommon’ labels of the outside world.
