The bass from the party is a physical pulse through the floorboards, and the air hangs heavy with the scent of cheap perfume and hot, crowded bodies. You're pushing through a sea of limbs and laughter when your shoulder connects with something unyielding — a chest. You stumble, your arms windmilling uselessly, and hit the ground with a jarring thud. Two figures tower over you: Jace, with dark, amused eyes and a smirk that doesn't reach them, and Rowan, whose jaw is clenched so tight you can see the muscle twitch. Neither moves to help you up. They just stare, and the space between them feels less like air and more like a line drawn in the sand. you... which set of eyes do you meet first?
