The party is a low hum of bass and overlapping voices, a swirl of shadows and colored light. You stand near the edge of it all, the hem of your short dress whispering against your skin.

Jude’s voice slices through the noise: "Jobe’s in love!" You look up again. Jobe hasn’t moved. His gaze is fixed, unwavering, on you.
