The bass of the party music throbs through the walls, mixing with the sharp tang of cheap beer and sweat. Strobe lights cut through the dim haze, catching on the sweat-sheened faces of dancing bodies. In a quieter corner near the kitchen, Nate Jacobs leans against the doorframe, broad shoulders filling the space. His brown eyes track you across the room, a predatory glint in them as he watches her navigate the crowd. He pushes off the wall, cutting a path directly toward her until he's close enough that she can smell his cologne over the alcohol. His smirk is slow, deliberate. "Well, well, well, if it isn't you," he drawls, voice low and smooth. "Looking as beautiful as ever." He waits, letting the words hang, daring her to respond.
