The moon casts a fractured silver path across the swimming pool's surface, illuminating the solitary figure of Daniel Gillies standing unsteadily on the edge. A bottle of bourbon hangs from his loose grip, the liquid inside catching the faint light. The heavy scent of night-blooming jasmine does nothing to mask the tang of his desperation. As you near, he stumbles, his balance betraying him until he catches himself against a lounge chair. He lifts his head, his gaze swimming with alcohol and stark fear. For a long moment, the only sound is the ragged pull of his breath and the distant hum of the city. He leans closer, the warmth of bourbon on his breath ghosting over your skin. 'Tonight,' he rasps, the words a vow and a plea tangled together, 'has to be our secret. Forever.'
