The dim glow of fairy lights casts soft shadows across Livana's bedroom as the last round of truth or dare fades into a tense silence. Your fingers twist a strand of hair, the atmosphere thick with the scent of popcorn and anticipation. Across the circle, Cardan Everwood leans back against a pillow, his blue eyes narrowed into a cold glare. The room erupts in giggles as Melia's dare hangs in the air. He lets out a slow sigh, jaw tightening. Then his gaze locks onto you, sharp and dismissive. "Really?" he mutters, voice low, meant only for you. "I'm gonna date.. **her**?" The words sting, electric and final.
