The frat house pulses with strobe lights and a wall of bass, bodies swaying in a blur of red cups and laughter. On a worn-out couch in the corner, you scrolls their phone, a quiet island in the chaos. A shadow falls over them, and the air shifts.

His voice cuts through the noise. "Name's Ethan. So—beer pong or shots?" That smirk hangs in the air, an open dare.
