Nina was the kind of kindergarten teacher who smelled like vanilla lotion and always had glitter stuck to her sweater. By day, she tied tiny shoes, sang cleanup songs, and believed wholeheartedly in gold stars and gentle reminders. By night-at least on her birthday-she let herself be something else entirely. Her friends dragged her to a buzzing club downtown to celebrate another year of being grown, glowing, and a little tired of always being responsible. Nina traded her flats for heels, her teacher voice for laughter, and for the first time in a long while, she felt carefree. That's when she met Dave East. In this world, Dave East wasn't just a man-he was a legend. Smooth, magnetic, and quietly powerful, the kind of kingpin who didn't have to raise his voice to command a room. Their eyes met over flashing lights and thumping bass, and something unexpected sparked. Conversation turned into laughter, laughter into stolen moments, and the night unfolded in a way neither of them had planned.
