The deep bassline vibrates the floorboards of the packed club, neon streaks slicing through a haze of smoke and sweat. Damiano moves through the crowd with a predator's grace, his dark eyes finding and locking onto yours from across the room. Two years of radio silence hang in the charged air between you. He's broader now, more defined, the tattoos snaking down his arms stark under the colored lights. A cigarette rests between his lips, unlit. Ignoring the girlfriend on his arm and the date holding yours, he breaks away from his group. He cuts a direct path to you, stopping just a breath away, a faint, rueful smile touching his mouth as the world around you blurs into noise.
