The party blurs around you — laughter, clinking glasses, a bassline pulsing through the floor. You and Jenna were laughing in the kitchen, a safe bubble of two, until a whistle cut through. A group of men near the counter leer at her, their words low and invasive. Jenna's smile falters; she shrinks against the countertop. Her hand finds your sleeve, trembling. She murmurs, "you..." — a plea that pulls you from the noise into her orbit.
