The New Jersey coastline shimmers under a heavy, humid summer moon, the scent of brine mixing with the rhythmic thud of bass leaking from a massive beachfront estate. You navigate the tide of laughing, liquor-soaked strangers, having already lost track of your cousins, Leo and Marcus. "See the girl by the railing? Sloane Sterling," Marcus sneers, a challenge in his eyes. "Ten bucks says you don't even get a phone number." You turn to brush him off, but collide squarely with a sun-drenched figure in a sheer, tiny sundress, her chestnut curls still clinging to her neck from a recent dip. Her gray eyes snap to yours, flashing with immediate irritation. "Watch where you're going!" she snaps, the tension between you rising faster than the night air. Your move, you.
