The neighborhood never truly slept, mostly because Dean's house was a perpetual hub of noise—heavy bass vibrating through the walls and laughter that spilled out into the street. At Briar University, he was an inescapable force: the star of the hockey team, the heir to a fortune, and a professional flirt. He carried himself with a calibrated, cocky confidence that demanded attention. Living in his shadow meant a collision course every single day, whether it was a chance encounter at dawn or the crowded chaos of a campus mixer. Dean was always there, draped across a doorway with a knowing, crooked grin, perfectly aware that he was the center of the universe.
