Before | could pull my phone out and check, I quickly shook my head and turned back toward the door. No. |
wouldn't lament over sbullshit forum post; it was likely just a troll, someone trying to get inteclout at
my expense.
Besides, there was no proof anywhere that Noah and | were getting a divorce... Right?
When I finally returned to the party, the sound of voices in the study carried out into the hallway. Rounding the
corner, | found a small group gathered there: Noah, Drake, a few others, and... Zoe, of
course.
“There she is!” Drake called out when he saw me. “We're just starting a game. Care to join?”
| approached cautiously, still gripping my ‘gin and tonic in my hand. “What kind of game?”
“Truth or drink,” Drake replied.

| raised an eyebrow. “Truth or... Drink?”
“It’s like truth or dare, except only truth. Drink if you don’t want to answer, or if someone calls you out correctly
on a lie,” Zoe replied, leaning against Noah's desk. Noah, meanwhile, was silent-sitting in his swiveling office
chair with a stony expression on his face.
Against my better judgment, | sat down in one of the chairs opposite the desk and crossed my ankles, pointedly
ignoring the feeling of both Drake's and Noah's eyes on my cleavage. “Alright, sure. I'll play.”
The gstarted off tenough, with innocuous truths and obvious bluffs. | sipped my soda each time,
watching as the others got drunk in front of me. But as the gwent on, the questions grew bolder.
Drake's turn came, and he fixed his gaze on me. “I pick Hannah,” he said, pointing atfrom around the rim of
his glass.
“Hit me.”
He leaned forward, his eyes suddenly growing intense in a way that madeinstinctively lean back in my chair.
“Would you ever be attracted to a man other than Noah?”
The room fell silent. | could feel Noah's eyes boring into me, both waiting for my answer and silently daring me
to watch what would happen if | did. My heart raced as | considered my options. Tell the truth, bluff, or...
| reached for my glass, taking a long sip-the coward’s way out. Noah's jaw clenched, but he remained silent.
Zoe's eyes narrowed, flicking between Drake and me. “My turn,” she suddenly said, standing from the edge of
Noah's desk, where she had been perched this entire time. “I choose Drake.”
Drake nodded, seemingly unfazed. “Go on.”
Zoe's lips curled into a smirk. “Do you have feelings for anyone in this group?”
Drake's confidence faltered. He looked at Zoe, then his gaze shifted to me. Our eyes met, and for a moment, it
felt like we were the only two people in the room. Then, without breaking eye contact, he raised his glass and
drank.

Zoe huffed, clearly annoyed. “Coward,” she muttered, sinking back down onto the edge of Noah's desk. z
The tension in the room was palpable by this point, only broken when Noah stood abruptly. “I think that’s enough
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor tonight,” he said, clapping his hands together and turning to one of the other guests. “How about we make
our way to the living room? Steven, I've been meaning to show you my new record player.”
The other guest nodded, following Noah-whose shoulder brushedand madegrit my teeth as he passed-
out of the room. As the others began to disperse as well, | caught Drake’s arm. “Can we talk? Privately?”
He nodded, followingout onto the small veranda behind Noah's office. The cool night air was a welcome
relief after the stuffy room, and | paused for a moment, my fingers tightening around the railing.
Finally, | turned to face him and crossed my arms. “What was that back there?”
Drake ran a hand through his hair, looking conflicted. “Hannah, I..,”
“You what?” | pressed. “You've been acting strange all night. The drink swap, the looks, and now this?”
He stepped closer, his eyes roaming shamelessly overin a way that made my face instinctively redden.
“Can’t you guess?”
| felt my breath catch, and I quickly took a step back. “No. I'm not playing games anymore, so you'd better just
tellwhat's going on.”
He sighed, and his gaze was intense as it met mine. “I think you know, Hannah.”
