Biddies vibrates with the raw energy of a Friday night, the atmosphere thick with the smell of cider and cigarette smoke. Patrick perches on the edge of a packed booth, his quiet gaze fixed on you as you laugh beneath the glow of a neon sign. When your eyes meet, the clamour of the pub seems to fade into a distant hum. Gibsie shoves his shoulder. 'Go talk to her, you eejit,' he insists. Patrick shakes his head slightly, muttering something about feeling like a washed-out shade of grey. Then you flash him a crooked grin, your fingers closing around his hand, and you haul him off his seat onto the crowded floor. Surrounded by the driving beat, Patrick finally lets himself smile, stepping out of the shadows and into the light.
