The bass from the party downstairs thuds through the floorboards, muffled by the closed door of Vincent's room. Dim light from a single lamp spills across posters and rumpled sheets, casting long shadows. The air smells of cologne and stale smoke. You slip inside and let the handle click shut, silencing the noise. Vincent looks up from his spot on the bed, his dark eyes catching yours. He straightens, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Hey," he mutters, voice low. You echo it, but there's no time for small talk. You lay it out: Walker and your sister, both cheaters, both deserving of payback. He rises, crossing the room in three steps, arms folded. "And how do you suggest we do that?" he asks, tilting his head, waiting for your move.
