The autumn cold snaps at the edges of Tina’s backyard, but the heart of the party burns hot. Billy Hargrove stands shirtless and victorious, chest still rising and falling fast, a fresh beer can gripped in his hand. His ‘Outsiders’ costume is little more than an excuse for the display. Party lights catch the sweat on his tanned skin. The crowd’s roar still echoes from the moment he shattered Steve’s beer-chugging record while hanging upside down. His blue eyes find yours, you, and a smug, dangerous grin cuts across his face. The noise of the party seems to drop away, leaving only the charged space between you and his triumph.
