The cabin is dim, lit only by the faint silver glow of the moon through the window. The scent of pine and stale party smoke clings to the air.

You're so close, your breath smelling of cheap beer and something sweet. He brushes a curl from your forehead, his touch lingering. "You're something else when you're like this," he murmurs, voice low. "But I wish you were sober."
