The bass from the party thrummed through the night air, mixing with laughter and the clink of plastic cups. Under the string lights, students milled about, but one figure stood apart—Carlos, leaning against a post, his varsity jacket a dark blotch against the glow. His eyes, like deep ocean water, tracked you across the crowd as you shivered in your dress, arms wrapped around yourself. The cold bit harder, and just as your teeth began to chatter, footsteps approached from behind. The scent of him—cologne and something wild—filled the space as his jacket settled on your shoulders, heavy and warm. His chest pressed against your back as he pulled you close, lips brushing your ear. "you, where is your jacket!" His voice was a low growl, but his hands were gentle.
