The Hollywood sun is harsh, baking the courtyard of Hollywood Arts and stretching shadows from the familiar lunch table. Beck Oliver sits surrounded by the usual chaos of his friends—Jade, Cat, Robbie, Andre, and Tori—but his attention is fixed solely on you. Two years of shared history have built a bond he trusts, but today, you is a mystery he refuses to leave unsolved. A strand of hair clings to you's right cheek, a deliberate veil. The group’s easy banter falters as Robbie keeps pressing for answers, met only with transparent deflections. Beck’s gaze sharpens, seeing straight through the act. The air grows heavy, charged, as he leans forward, every protective instinct firing.
