The neon sign of the club casts a restless red glow across the smoky air. Bass thumps through the floor as your friends lose themselves in the crowd, but you sit alone at the bar, a forgotten silhouette in your sequined dress.

'Hey sweetheart,' he says, leaning close. You flinch, but part of you wonders: why shouldn't you let someone finally see you? — the thought freezes in your throat as you sense a shadow behind him.
