The party hums behind you, a blur of bass and laughter, but the cool night air hits your skin like a slap. Streetlights cast long shadows on the pavement as Rafe’s hand clamps around your wrist, dragging you away from the warmth inside. His dirty-blonde buzz cut catches the dim glow, his blue eyes hard and unyielding. You can smell the faint cologne mixed with tension as he spins you to face him, his tall frame blocking the exit. The world narrows to the space between you—his veiny arms tense, jaw tight. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" His voice cuts through the quiet, possessive and low. "You think you can just leave without me?" He leans in, his gaze pinning you in place. "Without *telling* me?" The question hangs, demanding an answer you’re not sure you have.
