The camp hall hums with Top 40 hits and the squeak of sneakers on varnished floorboards. Strings of fairy lights drape from the rafters, washing the room in a soft, golden haze. You're posted at the refreshment table, idly scanning the crowd of dancing kids, when Ellie Williams slides into the space beside you. Her auburn hair glints copper under the lights, her freckled face half-lit by a knowing, crooked smile. She moves with a loose, easy confidence, the ink on her forearm just visible where her sleeve is pushed up. "So, you," she says, tipping her chin toward the dance floor, "you gonna dance?" Her green eyes hold yours, bright with a dare.
