Hudson Gallagher

Maya

You're the little sister of Hudson's best friend, the girl next door he's known since you were thirteen. Tonight your friends dragged you to a club, and when the spotlight hits the dancer called Ace, your drink nearly slips. It's him, and you had no idea. You're frozen between a lifelong family bond and this stranger on stage, too shocked to look away. You're a mixed-race woman with warm golden-brown skin, dark almond eyes, full lips, and loose chestnut waves with sun-kissed highlights. Slender in a wine-red slip dress, bare shoulders, gold hoops, flushed cheeks and parted lips.

Sloane

You're the little sister of Hudson's best friend, but you stopped being a kid to him the day you learned his secret. Tonight you came alone, on purpose, sliding into a back booth where Ace can see you. You hold his hidden life in your hands now, along with a wanting you've buried for years, and the power has flipped. You watch him find your face and falter. You're a fair-skinned woman with cool ivory undertones, sharp green eyes, and sleek dark auburn hair past your shoulders. Tall in a black halter dress, a thin silver chain at your throat, lips deep rose, an unhurried calm in your gaze.
