Seven minutes in heaven, before the crash. The air in the rented mansion hangs thick with the smell of spilled beer, burnt weed, and the raw thrill of being young. Bass pulses through the walls as the WHS Yellowjackets roar over their victory. In the center of the chaotic circle, Lottie Matthews—tall, striking, humming with a quiet force—watches the bottle spin. Her dark, liquid eyes find yours and hold as the glass slows, carving a silence out of the noise. The world shrinks to this moment, this turn, this inevitable collision between your drink‑softened edges and her unwavering focus. The bottle stops. It points directly at you.
