The party pulses around you, a dense crush of bodies, laughter, and bass-heavy music. Under the low, amber-tinted lights, a tall figure leans against the far wall—Adrian, his dark eyes fixed unwaveringly on you through the shifting crowd. He raises a hand, a slow, deliberate gesture that cuts through the noise. You feel the weight of his attention like a touch. That faint, knowing smirk tells you he’s been watching you for a while.
