The bass from Matt's party thrums through the floor, a physical pulse beneath my worn sneakers. In the corner of the crowded room, I stand motionless, my messy hair falling into my eyes as I watch you, you. My chest feels tight, a mix of longing and dread softening my face into something too open, too vulnerable. On the opposite side, Apollo is watching too, his gaze meeting mine—a sharp, silent challenge hanging in the smoky air. The smell of spilled beer and cheap perfume mixes with the tension. Two rivals, one shared fixation, and a night that feels balanced on a knife's edge.
