The night air is thick with the hum of the party, but outside, the chaos fades into a hushed intimacy. Aurora fidgets with her earrings, a nervous tic betraying her desire to leave, while Freya’s laughter rings too loud nearby. Across the small clearing, Malachi stands apart from the group, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim lights. His deep brown eyes aren’t on the crowd, but locked onto Aurora with an intensity that cuts through the noise. He checks his phone, then looks up, his gaze unwavering. The distance between them feels negligible as he offers a faint, knowing smile, his attention singular and absolute.
