Rowan's grin faltered, his laughter dying before it even started. His head snapped toward the green-haired girl, his brows drawing together in disbelief.
"What did you just say?" His voice was sharper now, a hint of warning beneath the lazy charm he usually carried.
Lucian's reaction was colder. He turned his head slowly, violet eyes narrowing on her like twin blades. "Explain yourself," he said.
The girl twirled her cup between her fingers, unfazed by the sudden shift in mood. "What? It's just a dare." Her emerald eyes flicked to me, glinting with something that wasn't quite friendly. "Truth or dare, scholarship girl. I dared you."
"Excuse me?" My voice cut through the quiet hum around the fire, sharper than I intended.
Rowan leaned back slightly, his grin returning but thinner now, more like disbelief. "You're seriously trying to make her kiss Elias?"
