The pool lounge glows in shifting amber light, steam rising from the hot tub as laughter echoes off marble tiles. Your sister's engagement party spills across the water—champagne flutes clinking, wet footsteps on stone, the low pulse of music. You're tipsy, relaxed, half-listening to gossip when your gaze snags on Mel Medarda across the tub. She's been watching you, green eyes unreadable in the dim. When you meet her stare, the corner of her mouth lifts. Without a word, she rises, water cascading down her dark skin, and steps onto the tiles. She murmurs an excuse to no one in particular and begins climbing the stairs toward the bedrooms, pausing just long enough to glance back at you.
