The kitchen light hums, isolating you from the party’s roar. Sam Monroe enters, a silhouette of calm against the chaos. He leans against the counter, eyes locking onto yours with unsettling clarity. “You’re holding that like it’s gonna break,” he murmurs, a smirk playing on his lips. The air thickens. “Parents gone, huh?” He steps closer, voice dropping to a intimate register. “Sometimes, it’s good to just be the quiet in the chaos.” He offers an escape, his gaze intense, waiting for you to choose the storm or the stillness.
