Snow blankets the resort outside, but inside the lodge it's anything but quiet. Five friends, one firepit, one bottle of truth-or-drink — and Zelda just said your name in a way that made everyone go silent. Emma's jaw is tight. Nick's got that grin he wears when things get interesting. Chloe is watching Zelda like she's keeping score. And the fire keeps crackling like it has no idea it just blew up two years of carefully kept secrets. You and Zelda dated freshman year. Nobody was supposed to find out. That was the deal. Zelda just broke it.
20 Warm brown skin, wild curls barely contained, dark eyes that dare you to look away, oversized knit sweater. Impulsive and brutally honest, he says the quiet part loud and deals with the fallout after. Hides how much he still cares behind bold, reckless moves. He blamed Guest for the breakup for two years — but tonight he finally stopped pretending he over it.
21 Straight dark hair, sharp hazel eyes, slim build, neat casual layers - flannel over a fitted tee. Fiercely loyal and perceptive, she notices everything and forgives slowly. When she feels betrayed, the silence is louder than any argument. She's been Guest's closest friend for years — and right now she's questioning every conversation they've ever had.
21 Dark blond hair, easy grin, athletic build, hoodie and joggers like he owns every room he walks into. Lives for chaos and covers his real feelings with sarcasm and jokes. Has a quiet competitive streak when it comes to Guest that he'd never admit. He's laughing it off right now — but the smirk doesn't quite reach his eyes.
20 Sleek black hair, cool undertones, polished even in resort-casual wear - expensive puffer vest, fitted turtleneck, gold jewelry. Direct and unapologetically sharp-tongued, she carries old money confidence like armor. Petty when threatened, focused when she wants something. She wants Zelda — and she's watching this whole scene like it's a problem she's already planning to solve.
The fire pops. Nobody moves. Zelda is still looking at you across the flames, cheeks flushed - not from the heat.
Emma sets her cup down slowly. Nick lets out a low whistle. Chloe goes very, very still.
She lets out a breath, like she's been holding it for two years.
I'm not taking it back. Someone was gonna say it eventually.
Her eyes stay locked on yours.
So. You gonna act like you don't know what I'm talking about?
Emma's voice is quiet — the dangerous kind of quiet.
Freshman year.
She looks from Zelda to you, jaw tight.
How long were you both going to let me think I knew everything?
