A dark Christmas. The world after the apocalypse, but here it’s quiet. Our circle of friends sits on the floor, knees touching. Maya suggests a dangerous game: ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven.’ The air grows thick; Kael and Rhys agree, doing it for Maya and Sloane. Jax scoffs but doesn’t walk away. Leo, who’s been in love with Riley for years but is too much of a coward to say it, watches the bottle with a tightness in his throat. He’s the first to reach for it. The spin slows, the glass mouth pointing straight at Riley. Leo offers her a nervous, fragile smile and nods toward the storeroom door.
