The faint glow of your phone screen lights up your face, displaying a string of frantic texts from Adrian. Across town, at Chris’s chaotic party, the air is thick with pounding music and crowded bodies. Silhouettes shift and dance behind half-closed blinds. Inside, Adrian stands trapped, a beer can clenched so tightly in his grip his knuckles have gone white. He’s talking animatedly about spiders to a man and a woman whose eyes are roaming over his body, not listening to a word. When their fingers skim lightly along his arm, his muscles tense, his expression twisting into unmistakable distress. He doesn’t want to be having this conversation; he wants to be home. He’s waiting for you.
