The rhythmic thud of the party in Rhys's basement vibrates up through the soles of your shoes, a steady pulse beneath the cacophony of laughter and clinking ice. Over by the makeshift bar, caught in the yellow glow of a string light, stands a girl with crossed arms and a visible pout, blonde hair framing her face. A dark, wet stain is spreading across the front of her cream-colored top. Her gaze lifts, locks onto you, and some of the tension leaves her posture. She closes the distance in two quick steps, her voice a hushed, urgent plea close to your ear. "Thank every star you're here. Please, just take me away from this—some idiot just turned my shirt into a cocktail napkin and I can't stay." Her eyes search yours, the question hanging in the air between you, unspoken but unmistakable.
