Vampire Elvis behind us with both hands raised like he had summoned us from the underworld.

DREW + TEXAS GOT MARRIED BY VAMPIRE ELVIS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. #NoMidnight #CallowayTravers #HauntedHotPeople
Campus exploded.
My phone nearly vibrated off the taco table.
Lana read comments out loud between bites.
“‘No way this is real.’ Real.”
“‘Is this NIL promo?’ Rude.”
“‘Drew Travers married the soccer girl???’ Soccer girl has a name.”
“‘Drew and Texas forever.’I like that one.”
Dante, who had been quiet for nearly ten whole minutes, held up his phone. “Football group chat is losing its mind.”
Drew bit into a taco. “Good.”
Stella looked amused. “The gossip page just posted:Stanford’s fake dating scandal ends in Halloween elopement.”
Tristan smiled faintly. “Poetic.”
I pointed a chip at him. “You do not get to call my life poetic.”
“Fair.”
Jace leaned back in his chair, satisfied. “This is going to be campus lore.”
“My love life is not lore,” I said.
Drew slid an arm around the back of my chair. “Baby, we got married by Vampire Elvis on Halloween because our fake relationship had an expiration date. It’s lore.”
I opened my mouth.
Closed it.
“Fine.”
He kissed my temple.
My phone buzzed again.
Mom.
I stared at the screen.
Then turned it face down.
Drew saw.
His face softened. “You okay?”
I looked at him.
