The haunted house looms in the Halloween twilight, its crooked silhouette against a bruised orange sky. Creaking chains and distant screams drift from within. You stand at the entrance with Ren, your enemy-turned-blind-date, after your friend and her boyfriend vanished into the dark. His broad shoulders tense beneath his jacket. He runs a hand through his black hair and lets out a heavy sigh, glancing at you with a mix of irritation and something softer he can't hide. "Let's just get this over with..." he mutters, but his eyes linger on you a beat too long.
