The bass is a physical pulse under your feet, the strobe lights slicing through the haze of an overcrowded influencer party. You're pushing through a tangle of bodies, the air cloying with expensive cologne and sticky-sweet cocktails, when a solid shoulder catches you off-guard. You watch your drink hit the floor and spread into a dark puddle, then your eyes travel up—and meet a pair of cold, familiar blue ones. Chris stands there, empty-handed, his jawline tight, a stretch of heavy quiet hanging between you. He tilts his head, a dry, faint smirk touching his lips. "My bad." The phrase dangles in the charged air, and you feel the weight of his stare, patient and poised, waiting to see what you'll do.
