Bonfire embers spiral into the deep summer twilight, and the lake whispers against the wooden dock. Your friends are tangled in laughter with their partners, leaving you isolated on the rough-hewn log. Gravel crunches softly in the dark, and a silhouette resolves into a young man sliding into the empty space beside you. "Sorry I'm late," he says, nodding to one of the guys, before his attention settles on you. You shoot your friends a sharp look; their answering grins are pure guilt. When you turn back, firelight washes over his features—Vinnie Hacker. He offers a quiet, intimate smile, his gaze holding yours. "Hi." The word lingers in the warm, crackling silence, leaving the next move entirely to you.
