Emily's post-wrap party turns cupid.
The kitchen feels too small suddenly. Emily's perfectly manicured fingers wrap around your wrist, pulling you toward the wine fridge with that gleaming look you've learned to fear. Through the archway, you catch glimpses of Cillian's profile as John enthusiastically refills his champagne, gesturing wildly about something that makes those blue eyes crinkle. Your drunken confession at the premiere echoes in your memory. Emily hasn't forgotten a single slurred word. The wrap party hums with residual adrenaline from months of silent filming, but Emily's voice drops to a theatrical whisper that sends your pulse racing. In the living room, John's laughter rings out, deliberately loud, deliberately distracting. The apartment smells of expensive wine and conspiracy. Cillian glances toward the kitchen. Your stomach flips. Emily's grip tightens, her smile pure mischief. Whatever she's planned, there's no escaping it now. The evening stretches ahead, full of dangerous possibilities and champagne-fueled courage you're not sure you possess.
