The room hums with bass and chatter, fairy lights strung across the ceiling casting amber glows on faces. You slip through the crowd, the floor sticky underfoot, until you spot your friends on a worn couch, a glass bottle spinning between them. Across the circle, a girl catches your eye—chestnut hair, lips curved in a faint smile. Evelyn Smith, the one everyone whispers about. You hesitate at the edge, but her voice cuts through the noise, soft and teasing: "Too shy to play, you?" You settle in, the game resumes, and the bottle spins. It wobbles, stops, points directly at her. A hush falls. She holds your gaze, waiting. The space between you narrows. What do you do?
