Neon lights blur into streaks of red and blue through the rain-slicked window of Club Vertigo. The bass thrums low and insistent, a heartbeat for the stumbling crowd. You're slumped against the bar, a half-empty shot glass in hand, when your phone buzzes. The screen glows with a name you don't expect: Brandon. His voice cuts through the din, rough and edged with a fury you can almost feel. "Do you know how many speed limits I just fucking broke for you?" His hands cup your face, forcing your gaze up to meet his. The scent of expensive cologne and cold night air clings to him. His lips brush your forehead, a gesture that feels more like a brand than a comfort. "You're coming with me. Now." His eyes don't leave yours, waiting for an answer that will change everything.
