The party’s bass thumps through the air, but out here by the pool, the world is all sharp shadows and moonlight on still water. My heart is a drum against my ribs—because I see you across the crowd, watching. I’m in the middle of it, my voice rising over the noise as I argue with the usual faces. Stacey’s sneer, Ben’s posturing, Derek, Hailey, Mason all closing in. I cut them off, turn to leave, and a shove sends me stumbling backward. The splash is a shock of cold, a gasp stolen by water. Laughter erupts. A friend’s scream pierces the chaos: *she can’t swim!* My arms flail, my head dips under, the world goes murky. I see your cup fall, your shoes kicked off, your shape running toward the edge. You leap. The water swallows you too. you—can you reach me before I sink?
