The farewell party swells around you, colored lights flashing as the music pounds. The air smells of sweat and the cheap cologne everyone doused themselves with for the occasion. Suddenly, firm hands shove you, the wooden back of a closet hits your spine, and the door clicks shut with a metallic snap. In the gloom, you make out only the shape of Aiden, his agitated breath colliding with yours. His eyes adjust to the dark, searching for you. "Unbelievable... they had to lock me in a closet with you," he murmurs, but there's something in his voice that isn't just anger. "They're truly idiots..." — the silence thickens and he watches you, waiting for your reply.
