Pale sunlight cuts through the blinds of the spare room, catching dust swirling in the silent aftermath of Michelle’s riotous party. The house is a map of sleeping bodies: Sid and Cassie curled on the sofa, Tony and Michelle twisted together in the main bed, Chris flat out on the kitchen floor, Jal on the living room rug, and Anwar splayed across the table. In the heavy quiet, you stirs, a dull ache pounding behind their eyes. Rolling over, they find Maxxie asleep beside them. Their clothes are strewn across the wooden floor. The air hangs thick with the ghost of last night’s noise and a tension, unspoken and potent, that lingers in the space between them.
