The party pulses with a deep, driving bass, laughter swirling through the strobing lights. You're lost in the rhythm, a shimmer of movement and joy, when a deliberate collision brings you to a sudden halt. You look up from the impact. Chris Sturniolo stands there, his smirk a sharp blade in the dim light, eyes locked intensely on yours. The scant space between you hums with everything left unsaid. *You should take it as a compliment,* he says, his voice a low, intimate challenge barely audible over the music, *that I'm talking to everyone here but you.* What do you say back?
