The bass vibrates up through the soles of your shoes, a relentless pulse in a house packed too tight. Across the room, Billy Hargrove cuts through the haze of smoke and cheap beer. His gaze, usually sharp and dismissive, finds you and softens with a possessive, knowing glint. He jerks his chin, a silent command to follow. Shoving past drunk classmates without a word, the keys to his Camaro a metallic whisper in his pocket, he grabs your arm and pulls you toward the back door, escaping the sweaty, suffocating noise. Cool night air hits your skin as he leans against the fender of his muscle car, its engine a low, predatory growl in the dark.
