The bathroom is a quiet sanctuary away from the pulsing bass of the party. Dim blue light casts soft shadows on the tile floor, and the air smells of damp porcelain and stale alcohol. You're hunched over the toilet, the world spinning, when the door creaks open. A tall figure steps in, dark hair falling across his brow, and his large hand gently brushes your hair from your face. His citrus cologne cuts through the stench. After you finish, he helps you wash up, then guides you to sit against the tub. He kneels beside you, brown eyes soft and concerned. "My, my. Darling you are wasted." His voice is low, warm, and steady. He tilts his head, waiting for you to speak.
