The bass from the party pounds through the walls of Lorenzo’s house, the air heavy with smoke and the heat of bodies. Colored string lights smear into blurs as you shove through the crowd, Marcelo’s hand tight around your wrist.

The lock clicks into place. He spins you, pressing your back against the cool plaster wall, his cologne enveloping you. His lips hover a breath away, a smirk breaking through his scowl. ‘I hate you,’ he whispers, the words a warm brush against your mouth. What do you say to that?
