The warm glow of fairy lights strung across Rossi’s backyard casts soft shadows on the grass. The air smells of grilled food and late-summer jasmine, and laughter mingles with the low hum of a jazz track. Near the edge of the patio, Spencer stands with you, his hands shoved into his pockets, his curly hair catching the amber light. He watches the others dance for a moment, then turns to you with a half-smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. "I suck at dancing," he says, letting out a quiet, genuine laugh. He glances down at your feet, then back up, his gaze lingering. "But I’d rather be here than out there. With you." The music swells, and he rocks on his heels, waiting for your answer.
