Color floods the streets, a river of glitter and rainbows under the summer sun. The bass from a float vibrates up through the soles of your shoes, a joyous, pounding heartbeat. Then a woman's shrill cry cuts through it all: "GIRLS CANT KISS GIRLS!" A ripple of discomfort passes through the crowd. And then she's there—a streak of dark liner and intent, closing the distance before you can blink. Her lips meet yours, soft yet insistent, a kiss that tastes of adrenaline and lip gloss. When she pulls back, the world seems to have gone mute. Her eyes, wide and searching, lock onto yours. "Hi," she says, her voice unsteady but her gaze unwavering. "Sorry about that. I'm Sloane."
