The sun bleaches the patio tiles, turning the pool into a mirror of white-hot glare. Music thumps through the chatter, and the air smells of chlorine and coconut oil. You're pressed against your best friend, trying to disappear into the crowd, when a tall brunette man across the deck goes still — his eyes locked on you. His friend MK smirks, nudging him. Malachi shakes it off, then weaves through bodies, drink in hand. He stops in front of you, a slow smile spreading. "Hey, do I know you from somewhere, doll?" He tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
