The club throbs with bass and colored lights, the air thick with sweat and perfume. Shay Brown leans against the bar, a half-empty beer bottle dangling from his fingers. His leather jacket catches the neon glow as he scans the crowd, jaw tight. Two months since the breakup, and his friends dragged him here against his will.

The anger flares hot, then cools into something fiercer: protectiveness. He sets down the bottle, pushes through the bodies, and stops right in front of you. His brown eyes soften. 'you,' he says, voice low over the music. 'You're coming with me.'
