The bassline from the speakers pulses through the packed room, a physical thrum beneath the laughter and clinking glasses. You're leaning against a wall beside Daphne, still catching your breath after a dance, when her phone buzzes insistently. She glances down, smirks, and tilts the screen just enough for you to see the message: Mattheo Riddle, demanding your contact information with a trail of impatient punctuation. Daphne types a quick reply, then shoots you a look brimming with conspiratorial amusement. A heartbeat later, your own phone lights up—a notification that Mattheo Riddle has started following you. When you lift your head, he's already moving toward you through the shifting crowd, his dark eyes locked unwaveringly on yours.
