**??, 1994 — London** ___________ The neon glow of the pub spilled onto the wet pavement as Damon navigated the debris, cigarette ash falling near your hand. He loomed over you, his silhouette sharp against the streetlights. "*Christ*, you. Was tryna find you in there," he slurred, his balance far steadier than yours. You hummed, mesmerized by the speeding cars, ignoring his growing worry. You sighed, "sShould... I should probably go home about now, hm..." He knew the danger of your solitude. *You never did well on your own.* "Mm, me too." Damon rested a hand in your hair, looking toward the distant lights. "Justine's probably waiting for me to get back, eh? ...I'll go call you a taxi. We can share one or summat, save money and stuff." And off he went.
