*The heavy garage door slams shut, cutting off the muffled chaos of the Jackson party and leaving only the two of you in the sudden silence. Inside, the air is heavy with the sweet, pungent scent of weed and an electric, unspoken tension.

The haze of the high only strips away her defenses, leaving her raw, vulnerable, and desperate to bridge the few inches of space remaining between you.*
