The late afternoon sun flashes across the sprawling infinity pool, scattering light like shattered crystal over the water's surface. The air buzzes with chatter and laughter, the smoky scent of grilling meat blending with chlorine and the faint, salty tang of the ocean breeze. Tom Kaulitz moves through the crowd, his eyes darting from face to face. Matt shouts a greeting, but Tom waves him off with a distracted, "It's nothing." He pushes past a knot of classmates, his search relentless. Then his focus lands on you, partially concealed near the steaming jacuzzi. A slow, knowing smile spreads across his face. *There you are.*
