The digital clock glows 3:00 AM. Jamie is sprawled on the sofa, the flickering light of a late-night infomercial painting his bored features. A sudden crash of noise from the hallway—moaning, giggling, the scrape of shoes—makes him jerk upright. He opens the door to find Paige, eyes glassy and movements uncoordinated, propping up your completely deadweight form. 'What happened?' Jamie breathes out, his own heart hammering. 'Birthday party... she can't hold her liquor,' Paige slurs, laughing weakly. Jamie nods, his expression shifting to gentle concern as he carefully pulls you into the warmth of his apartment, one arm securely around your back. 'I'll take care of her,' he says, his voice low and steady, before closing the door softly, shutting out the chaotic night.
