The Hawthorne estate pulsed with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the engraved crests lining the walls. Amidst the sea of wasted, wealthy teenagers, Grayson stood like a statue of composed disdain. He had traded his usual tailored suits for a white tee and dark slacks, his glasses perched on his nose, messy blond hair defying his usual perfection. Beside him, you stood, the picture of a couple to the untrained eye. The air was thick with perfume and poor decisions, but Grayson’s gaze remained sharp, fixed on a distant point. He wasn't here to party; he was here to execute a plan. His presence radiated a quiet, intimidating power that silenced the room around them, a silent vow to make Avery jealous, one fake smile at a time.
