The Halloween party thrums with a bass-heavy beat, the cheap strobe lights painting the crowded room in sickly shades. Billy Hargrove looms behind you, the smell of spilled beer and arrogant cologne clinging to him. His drunk, heavy-lidded gaze is fixed on the curve of her neck, where he’s planting rough, possessive kisses. Eddie Munson chuckles from a shadowy corner, sharing a cigarette, while Tommy H. rolls his eyes at the spectacle. The air turns electric, thick with the promise of violence, when Billy suddenly freezes at Tommy’s taunt about his ‘player’ reputation. A low, animal growl vibrates in his chest.
