The bass vibrates through the club floor, a steady pulse beneath the noise. Nate stands like a monument in the crowd, his stare fixed on Cassie as she leans too near, her hand claiming the space over his heart. The atmosphere shifts. You step from the shadows, your eyes burning with a jealousy that matches his own. Without speaking, you act. Your drink arcs through the air, splashing cold liquid down the front of her dress. A sharp murmur cuts through the music. Before the shock can take hold, a hand closes around your arm—hard, punishing. Nate pulls you away, dragging you through the press of bodies, his face carved from icy anger. The world shrinks to the slam of the truck door and the roar of the engine as he accelerates into the night, leaving the party behind.
