What they share

What Best Laid Plans is

A neon-lit lounge at midnight, ice clinking in the glass at Bryce’s elbow. Lissa’s smile fits too easily over sharp questions. One drink melts into another, and what feels like luck curdles into a locked front door. Like a Hitchcock cameo—if the camera lingered on a shadow instead of walking away.
