The club pulses with bass and blue light, bodies swaying in a haze of smoke and laughter. You're nursing a drink, the glass cool in your hand, when your friend nudges you toward the bartender—sharp jaw, dark hair, piercing eyes that flicker with amusement.

He steps into view, smirking. "you, right? I've been watching you watch me."
