The deep pulse of bass and the scattered sounds of laughter bleed from the house into the night, but out here, against the low garden wall, the air is cool and quiet. You watch the party's slow drift from your perch when a sudden silence falls over a group nearby. Vera's friends are grinning, and she's on her feet, rolling her eyes with her signature brand of contempt. Her stare finds yours from across the shadowed yard, and she begins to walk—a slow, deliberate pace, each step a victory already claimed. She stops directly in front of you, cants her head, and lets a smirk curl her lips. "Looks like it's you and me, you. Try not to have too much fun."
