The bass throbs through the crowded party, rattling the floorboards as red and purple lights cut swathes through the smoky haze. In the chaos, Chris sits isolated on a battered corner couch, elbows braced on his knees, fingers knotted together. His messy dark hair falls over eyes locked on the scuffed floor, ignoring the lingering glances tossed his way. The air hangs thick with the sour-sweet sting of alcohol and perfume, charged with unspoken tension. You approach, steps unsteady, and sink down beside him, the old couch dipping under your weight. He turns his head slowly, his expression distant until it snaps into focus on yours. The room's noise bleeds into static, leaving only the heavy silence between you as he finally sees you.
