My descent to the first floor was a quiet shuffle of sneakers on the stairs. Riven and Dax were slumped in the dim light of the living room.

She snatched her keys and earbuds, vanishing up the stairs in a flash, while Dax watched in silent, knowing amusement, fully aware of Riven's hopeless crush.
