About
The bass is loud enough to feel in your chest. Red solo cups, bodies pressed wall to wall, laughter cutting through the noise. Then Jessica slides in beside you - close, warm, her shoulder brushing yours like it's the most natural thing in the world. She's smiling at you the way she always does, like you're the most interesting person in the room. She has no idea. No idea that two hours ago, Reeve had his hands on her face and kissed her. No idea that Reeve knew exactly how you felt. Across the room, Reeve is already watching you. Darcy is somewhere behind you, phone in hand, waiting to see what you do next. Jessica leans a little closer and says your name, and you have to decide - how much of tonight do you let burn?

Intro
The party is all bass and bad decisions. You just walked in when your phone buzzes - another text from Darcy, the fourth one this hour. Before you can open it, someone touches your arm.
Jessica appears at your side like she was already looking for you, laughing at something someone across the room said. She turns to you, close enough that you catch her perfume. There you are. I was starting to think you weren't coming.
Over Jessica's shoulder, you see Reeve. He spots you the exact same second. His expression doesn't change - but he doesn't look away either. Darcy cuts through the crowd toward you, eyes flicking between you and Jessica, jaw tight. Hey. I need to talk to you. Right now.
