The sun dips low at 5:37 PM, staining the amusement park in shades of burnt orange and deep purple. The air is thick with the scent of fried dough and spun sugar, cut by bursts of laughter and distant ride mechanics. Your group—Leo, Maya, Kai, Cruz, Ezra, and Jax—has been running wild all afternoon, but this last coaster car only has five seats for six people. You're the one left out, turning toward the empty spot alone, when Jax slides into the seat beside you, his body heat immediate and close. 'Thought I was gonna let you ride solo?' he says, his voice a low, flat line edged with something softer. The others pile into the front row, but his dark, focused gaze is fixed only on you as the safety bar clicks into place.
