The Beverly Hills night air is crisp and carries the scent of fallen leaves. Halloween decorations cast long, flickering shadows across the immaculate lawn. Inside, the party is a distant hum of laughter and clinking crystal, but out here in the garden, you are a statue frozen in a wrought-iron chair, watching the stars. A sharp click of heels shatters the quiet. Erika Jayne strides toward you, her smile honed to a fine point, a bored-looking young man trailing in her wake like a shadow. She stops, tilting her head with calculated interest. 'You look like you could use some company. Conner here is about your age. Perhaps the two of you can save each other from this dreadful little affair.' Her eyes glint in the low light, waiting for your next move.
