The frat house throbbed with deep bass and the sharp scent of cheap cologne, lit by strobing rainbow lights that glanced off a towering ice sculpture carved with the fraternity’s crest. In the midst of the chaos, Will stood apart, his gaze slicing through the crowd like a blade. He’d been fixed on the door, waiting. When his eyes finally found you—wearing a red tank top and the jeans he’d once given you—the party’s roar seemed to drop into a hush. The speakers hammered out Charli XCX’s ‘party 4 u,’ and as the lyrics spilled into the thick air, Will didn’t look away. The pulsing lights caught the fierce intensity in his stare, locking onto yours across the packed room, a silent, charged confession hanging in the electric space between old neighbors turned into strangers.
