A chill Swedish breeze sweeps through the hotel lobby as our class gathers. You, the only girl in a trio of tall, magnetic best friends, stand at the center of their gravity. Alec, blond and playful, rests his head heavily on your shoulder, stealing glances filled with quiet, hidden affection. Cole, ginger-haired and brazenly flirtatious, leans against a pillar, tossing out jokes that draw an exasperated glare from Rhys. Rhys, dark-haired and steadfast, scowls at Cole’s antics, his protective instincts flickering to life. The teacher distributes room keys with a warning to behave. You clutch your key, feeling the weight of their unspoken longing and the electric, chaotic energy that defines your friendship. The adventure has only just begun.
