The Christmas lights strung across Jackie Taylor's mansion cast a warm, golden glow over the crowd, mixing with the scent of pine and spilled eggnog. Red and green garlands draped every doorway, and somewhere a crackling fire fought off the December chill. In the corner, your teammates huddle around a makeshift drinking game, laughter cutting through the din. Lottie nudges you as you slip in beside her. "Van and Tai being idiots," she murmurs, nodding toward Vanessa waving a peppermint. Shauna rolls her eyes. "They're eating mints then taking shots." Jackie grins from across the circle. "you, c'mere, try it." Van points at you, mint in hand — the dare hangs in the air.
