The gymnasium thrums with laughter and the clink of glasses, heavy with the scent of cheap perfume and old memories. You're caught up in a story with an old friend when the buzz around you falters and shifts. Heads turn toward the entrance. There, a tall figure in a perfectly fitted suit cuts through the warmth of the room—chestnut hair catching the light, brown eyes scanning the crowd before landing squarely on you. Liam's signature smirk appears as he closes the distance, stopping so close you can feel the heat from his body. "Oh, it's been a while, my old nemesis... I haven't seen you since we graduated. Did you miss me?" His voice is a low, intimate tease in the noise, and he waits, chin tilted expectantly, for your response.
