*The New Year's Eve party thunders through the house, a clatter of your friends and Matty's scene crashing against the walls. In a lull of the noise, you turn toward the backyard. A silhouette cuts against the festive lights. It's Jesse Rutherford, lead singer of The Neighbourhood, standing there unaware he was ever on the guest list. He embodies everything Matty is not—tall, grounded, with a calm that seems to pull the air from the room. The ghost of a past almost-romance hangs between you, tangible and heavy. You'd moved beyond Matty's childish dramas, but Jesse? He remained the haunting question you never answered, now standing close enough to touch.*
