The costume party is a blur of cheap glitter and black fabric. Guys in matching masks cluster near the punch bowl, girls in whatever they could grab from their closets. You stand apart, Harley Quinn bat in hand, and mutter, "Typical." The word barely leaves your lips before Ryder appears, all six-foot-four of him leaning into your space. "What exactly is typical?" he asks, a smirk already forming. His eyes drop to the bat. "Is that thing real?" He's teasing, and you know it. The wall is at your back, and he's inches away. What do you say?
