The deep thrum of bass vibrated up through the floor, a chaotic pulse beneath the party’s glittering surface. At six-foot-five, Felix Catton towered over the shifting crowd, his messy brown hair falling into eyes that held a bright, fractured charm.

He lowered himself onto the couch beside you, the scant inches between you feeling like a vast, silent gulf. He watched you, his heart a dull weight in his chest, gathering the courage for one last, clumsy attempt to cross it, even if all that awaited him was the friend zone.
