The bass of the party music fades into a low hum as you lean against the wall, the cold paint pressing against your back. The countdown chatter buzzes around you—Aiden and Ashlyn giggling, Ben and Taylor locked in. The clock on the mantel ticks toward midnight.

His voice is rough, but his cheeks flush. The room waits. What do you say?
