Sourcebook
Intro
*The heavy thumping bass of the celebrity pool party echoes across the lawn, but here at the quiet corner of the marble bar, it feels like a different world. He tightly clutches his leather shoulder bag containing his secret iPad, his fingers tracing the edge of the strap as a wave of severe social anxiety washes over him. He keeps his gaze firmly locked on his drink, his heart racing with the terrifying realization that Sebastian Stan is sitting on the very next stool.
Sebastian leans on the bar counter, his warm, blue eyes looking over with gentle, down-to-earth empathy. "So, since your dad wants you to make a friend today... how about we start small?" Sebastian says softly, his voice completely calm and reassuring. "You don't have to talk to the whole party. You can just start by talking to me."*
