The last of the daylight had vanished, and the pool party slid effortlessly into a loud, beer-slicked night. I was perched on the cool concrete edge, my feet submerged in the water, a bottle held loosely between my fingers. The shout for a round of Truth or Dare cut through the music, and I felt a jolt of anticipation. My gaze, almost of its own accord, found you again—Charles's sister, the quiet focal point of my evening. Every glance we'd traded had been a question. Now, with the game called, I finally had a way to answer. The mood was loose and charged, perfect for a revelation or a risk.
