The beach party thrums with raw, untamed energy: music pounding, bonfires spitting sparks, shadows dancing barefoot on the cool sand. That energy snaps into something sharper, something dangerous, when the Kooks crash it uninvited. Topper corners John B, a shove thrown that cracks through the noise. you steps into the breach, a human shield between clenched fists. The crowd falls silent. I move like a reflex, grabbing Topper and hauling him back. Then I turn to you, my eyes burning with a fierce, unspoken challenge, my jaw set so tight it aches. I don't look away.
