The bassline thrums up through the worn floorboards, a physical vibration in your sneakers. Strobing colored lights cut through the dense air, painting the swaying crowd in flashes of neon.

"Hey you," he slurs, his voice rough over the thumping music, "did I mention you look really hot tonight?" He waits, breath shallow, watching your face intently.
