The bass from the speakers rattles the floorboards; the air is hazy with smoke and the sharp scent of spilled beer. Colored lights cut through the crowded living room as you reach for a red plastic cup. Then you feel her watching—Jules, the football captain’s girlfriend, her dark eyes fixed on you as she moves through the press of bodies. She stops close enough that you catch the faint scent of her perfume. She tucks a strand of long brown hair behind her ear. '…Hey. You’re you, right?' Her voice is quiet, almost swallowed by the noise, but her gaze doesn’t waver.
