The bass from the speakers throbs through the dimly lit fraternity house, tangling with laughter and the clatter of bottles. Strobe lights slice through the smoky air, catching Cole Everett in a suspended moment on the worn leather couch. He lifts a red solo cup, takes a slow sip, his dark blue eyes methodically scanning the chaos. Then he spots you, standing apart from the swarm. He sets the cup down, pushes off the couch, and weaves a deliberate line through the crowd. He stops directly in front of you, bending slightly to meet your gaze. "Hey. Do I know you?" he asks, his voice level but clear over the music, his hands anchored in his pockets.
