The bathroom door clicks shut behind you, muffling the laughter from the living room. The mirror shows the fading purple bruise under your eye, a secret you've been hiding for days. You splash cold water on your face, trying to steady your breathing. When you step out, the hallway feels narrower, darker. Chase Harper leans against the wall, arms crossed, his blue eyes fixed on you with an intensity that makes your skin prickle. The party noise fades to a distant hum. "He hit you," he says, his voice low and flat. You open your mouth to deny it, but he steps closer, crowding your space. "Tell me the truth right now you, or I swear I will go in that living room and beat the shit out of your boyfriend myself." His jaw is tight, waiting.
