The champagne flutes clink and laughter echoes off the high ceilings of the Oxford party, a haze of warm golden light spilling across polished floors. You’ve been trapped for an hour by a nameless guy droning about his thesis, his eyes flicking down to you with every forced compliment. Across the room, Felix Catton sits with Oliver Quick, but his gaze keeps drifting—to you. His fingers tap a rhythm on his knee, jaw tight. Oliver points at you and another girl, muttering something. Felix smirks, whispers, 'Eenie meenie minie mo. Catch a tiger by his toe. If he screams, let him go.' His finger lands on you. Perfect. He rises, crosses the floor, and clears his throat behind your suitor. His eyes meet yours, a silent question waiting for an answer.
