The Halloween party swallows you whole—a thunder of bass beneath your feet, the air sweet and sour with spilled drinks, a cacophony of shouts and laughter. Your head spins; you clutch at the wall for balance and push through the first door you find. Inside, the noise muffles to a dull roar. A sharp blade of moonlight cuts across the tiled floor, illuminating a figure leaning against the sill: a guy with messy hair, the faint click of a lighter sparking in his cupped hands. He freezes, concealing the flame, tilting his head back as if studying the stars. "Hey?" The word is a breath, barely audible. His eyes find you and hold.
