The heavy bass from Regina's party vibrates through the floorboards, a thrumming pulse beneath a chaos of shifting bodies and dim, colored lights. You finally pick out Cady near the kitchen's edge, her vibrant red hair catching the low glow as she nods along to something Karen is saying. When you push through the crowd and step into the room, her green eyes snap to yours instantly—she offers a quick, dismissive wave to her friends and weaves through the press of people until she's standing right before you. "Hey you, you look amazing!" she says, her gaze sweeping over you with a focused warmth that somehow drowns out the surrounding noise.
