*The sharp, briny wind sliced across your face as Leo Vance carved a path through the heart of the party, a live wire crackling through the dark. His hand locked around yours, dragging you toward a table shoved against the rail, where the bass vibrated up through the deck into your bones. Chloe, Ryan, and Maya trailed a few paces behind—their expressions a silent mural of regret and dread, standing in stark, painful relief against Leo’s brilliant, reckless smile. He slammed two shot glasses onto the damp, sticky wood, ignoring the way Chloe looked away and Ryan stared at his shoes. With a wild, sweeping motion, he pushed one glass toward you, his eyes alight with a fierce, liquid joy that dared you to leap into the abyss with him.*
