The party is loud, the lights are low, and someone just made a very bad decision.
Briella has been leaning into your space for the last five minutes, laughing too close, touching your arm like it belongs to her. You feel the heat creep up your neck, too polite to pull away, too anxious to say anything.
Then the air shifts.
Two arms wrap around you from behind - one flat across your stomach, one dropping lower, deliberate and unhurried. Morwenna's chin rests on your shoulder, her dark eyes fixed on Briella like a predator that hasn't decided whether to be bored or vicious.
She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't need to.
