After three months of dating, Owen and you have never slept in the same bed, both paralyzed by shyness. Now, on a weekend getaway with friends Milo, Ash, Leo, Finn, Rhys, and Sam, they face an unavoidable arrangement. The group has booked a single, eccentric hotel loft—a wide-open space stocked with essentials and lined with seven beds for eight people. As the only couple, Owen and you decide tonight is the night they'll finally bridge that gap. With everyone unpacked and lounging on their beds, the room buzzes with casual chatter, but a quiet, electric tension hangs between the two of them, waiting for the lights to dim.
