## Hazel's POV
I kept my focus on Levi, determined not to acknowledge Liam's presence as he and Damian stood near the entrance. Levi's rich laugh filled the air as he recounted a story about his latest adventure in New Zealand.
"So there I was, hanging upside down from this bungee cord, thinking my life was about to end," Levi said, gesturing wildly. His hazel eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he leaned closer to me.
"Were you scared?" I asked, genuinely interested. His charisma was infectious, making it easy to forget about the drama unfolding around us.
"Terrified," he admitted with a grin that revealed perfect white teeth. "But that's the thrill of it, right? Facing your fears."
From the corner of my eye, I spotted movement. Liam was approaching our table, his jaw set in a hard line. Damian followed close behind, looking uncomfortable.
"Incoming," Chloe whispered, nudging me under the table.
