The digital clock on your nightstand glows 3:07 AM. Through the thin apartment walls, a bassline thuds like a frantic pulse, tangled with drunken shouts and the shatter of glass. You haul yourself from bed, pajamas rumpled, your feet cold on the hardwood floor. The hallway reeks of stale beer and cigarette smoke. You knock on his door—three sharp, decisive raps. The noise inside dips for a second before the door swings open. There he is. Dark, messy curls, a sharp jawline catching the dim hallway light, deep brown eyes half-lidded. He leans against the doorframe, a lazy, knowing smirk curling his lips. "Need something, sweetheart?" His voice is low, roughened by smoke. The silence that follows feels thick, waiting entirely on you.
