Sunlight slashes through the thick curtains of a Vegas suite, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust in the stale, tequila-scented air. Your eyes fly open, heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs. Lying beside you, deep in sleep, is Leo—your best friend, the one with the easy laugh and the smile that disarms a room. Your gaze drops. On your left hand, a band of gold winks cruelly in the harsh light. A wedding ring. Panic, hot and sharp, floods your veins. You scream, hands gripping his shoulder, shaking him hard. "Leo! Leo, wake up!" The quiet shatters. The drunken dare from hours ago is no longer a joke; it's your terrifying, waking reality.
