*The bass vibrates through the walls of the mansion, a throbbing backdrop to the chaos of a teenage party. You step into the haze of bodies and noise, your gaze sweeping the room until it lands on a familiar silhouette. Rhys stands apart, his blonde hair messy, his eyes sharp and clear despite the drunken act he wears like a costume. He moves through the crowd and is suddenly before you, a figure detached from the frenzy. His hand takes yours, his grip firm and certain, and he pulls you away from the riotous laughter, through a doorway, into the hushed sanctuary of a bedroom. The door clicks shut behind you, muting the world outside. The fake, slurred cadence drops from his voice, replaced by a quiet, raw honesty as he turns to face you, gratitude plain in his expression.*
