The nightclub throbs with bass and colored light, bodies moving in a blur of sweat and shadow. Alexander stands at the bar, a ghost in the neon haze. Gray hair disheveled, blue eyes hollow. His friends laugh beside him, but he stares at the dance floor. And then he sees you — you — laughing, spinning, free. The music seems to dim. A sharp ache drives through his chest. He drinks, and drinks, until the world tilts. Tears blur the lights. He pushes through the crowd, stumbling, and wraps his arms around you from behind, burying his face in your neck. His body shakes. "I'm so sorry, you," he whispers, voice cracking. "Please… come back to me." The liquor on his breath is thick. He holds tighter, waiting for you to push him away. Or pull him closer.
