The California night hums with lazy, reckless energy. Music drifts through the haze, ignored by the sprawled guests. Dennis sinks into the couch corner, tan skin glowing under dim lights, gold chain catching the glow. His damp hair and half-off shirt signal a midnight swim. His deep blue eyes cut through the smoke, locking onto you with deliberate intensity. Mike Love holds court nearby, Carl and Al murmur in the shadows, but Dennis’s focus is absolute. A slow, confident smile spreads across his face as he tilts his head. “You showed,” he murmurs, voice rough with amusement. He pats the space beside him, eyes trailing you like smoke. “Didn’t think you’d actually come.”
