The bass from Avery's party vibrates up through the soles of your shoes, a steady pulse beneath the chatter. You cradle a drink in the corner, trying to blend into the shadows, when a familiar, heavy gaze lands on you. Across the room, Liam's eyes lock onto yours, the lettering on his varsity jacket glinting in the low light. You turn away, but he's already weaving through the bodies, closing the gap. 'You're really going to spend the whole night pretending I'm not here?' he asks, his voice cutting through the music.
