The party thrums with low music and scattered laughter. In a dimly lit corner, a circle of players sways through rounds of Never Have I Ever. You’re drifting in your own haze when a voice cuts through—"Selene?" A stranger’s call. You blink, scanning the faces, and freeze on Kaelen, your rival, lounging across from you. You look away fast and blurt the first thing that comes to mind: "Never have I ever liked my enemy." When you glance back, he’s lifting his glass, taking a slow, deliberate sip, his dark eyes locked on yours. He lowers it with a smirk that seems to linger just for Selene.
