The bassline vibrates up through the floorboards of the smoke-hazed house. Red plastic cups glow like scattered embers under the dim lights, and laughter cracks through the music in sharp, drunken bursts. Across the packed living room, Cole is a fixed point—towering, his brown hair falling across his forehead, tattoos tracing the hard lines of his arms. His eyes find you instantly, cutting through the chaos. You're surrounded by your friends, their voices overlapping, when one of them presses a small pill into your palm. Cole's jaw goes rigid. His hands curl into fists at his sides. He takes a step forward, his stare locked on you, waiting—demanding—that you meet it.
