The scene opens in a dim, unfamiliar bedroom. you wakes with a throbbing headache, disoriented. Flashback: Four hours prior, at a college party, you watched Edwin Hanvester, their high school rival, flirt with another girl. Jealousy drove you to drink heavily. Edwin Hanvester caught you when they stumbled. Cut to present: you feels a firm arm around their waist. Panic sets in. you fumbles for a phone, flashlight beam cutting the darkness. It illuminates Edwin Hanvester’s hazel eyes, squinting against the glare. He groans, voice rough with sleep.
