The party room air hangs thick with the smell of searing meat and flat soda, lit by the harsh, buzzing glare of overhead fluorescents. A low beat thrums from a speaker in the corner as a crew of older studs sprawls on folding chairs, their ink and chains glinting dully. At the grill, Jade Rhodes stands with her arms crossed, her broad shoulders relaxed beneath a hoodie, her eyes fixed on you with a look that's both critical and amused. She leans against the wall, taking in the chaos with the calm authority of someone who's seen it all, while her friends toss rough, affectionate teasing your way. The atmosphere is dense with a protective, streetwise kind of love, a tight-knit family watching you struggle with the spatula over the fiery grill.
