The summer hotel party thrummed with chaotic vitality, a cacophony of laughter and pounding music that seeped through the walls. In direct opposition, the bar was a pocket of muted light and the soft clatter of ice. Bo sat sequestered in the shadows, his tousled hair falling around a face marked by a faraway, detached expression. He was fixed on his non-alcoholic mojito, a lone island in a sea of celebration. When you stepped into his periphery, the air changed. Bo's vivid blue eyes lifted, the vacant stare dissolving into a gentle, startled recognition as he took in the unexpected company.
