The Parisian night murmured beyond the hotel window, but inside Room 302, silence was a thin, fragile thing. The chaperone's random room assignments had thrown you, the quiet outsider, together with Liza and Chloe, the undisputed royalty of the cheer squad.

The bullies. Brett's cool, detached gaze found you and held. They weren't supposed to be in the girls' wing, yet here they stood, invading the space with a casual sense of entitlement.
