The bass thrummed through the floorboards, vibrating against Spencer’s ribs as he leaned against the cool kitchen counter. His sharp eyes cut through the haze of smoke and strobe lights, ignoring the chaos of Jake’s party to lock onto a single figure: you. She stood across the room, laughter bright and careless, the spotlight catching the gold in her hair as she tossed it back. She seemed untouchable, a queen of her own world, but Spencer remembered the secret glances they’d traded over the years. When you’s gaze found his, her lips curved into a knowing, dangerous smile. She moved through the crowd with magnetic ease, parting bodies until she was right beside him, her confidence radiating heat. 'You hiding out here, Spencer?' she teased, leaning in close.
