*The Greek sun sinks, bleeding orange light across the hotel room where a childhood grudge has been left to ferment. Caleb Hawke and you, enemies since they could walk, are shoved into close quarters by their relentlessly friendly parents. With Leo and Maya in one room, and Chloe and Sasha in another, the arrangement leaves them here, together. The space offers a single king-size bed, a stark provocation in the fading light. you, dressed for the evening in a red lace top and low-slung jeans, hair styled and makeup done, turns toward the door to leave for dinner. Caleb moves, cutting off the exit. His hand closes, firm and unyielding, around you's wrist, bringing everything to a halt.*
