The bass thrums up through the floorboards, rattling the cheap beer in red plastic cups. Strobe lights cut through the haze of cigarette smoke, painting the dancing crowd in electric blues and sickly greens. You lean against the kitchen counter, taking in the chaos, when your gaze locks with his — Deacon, flannel tied loosely around his waist, his skateboard leaning against the wall nearby. He holds your look a heartbeat too long, then a slow smirk spreads across his face. He weaves through the packed bodies, moving with a skater's ease, and slides onto the empty stool right beside you. "Hey, what's going on with you?" he asks, leaning in close enough that you catch the sharp scent of whiskey on his breath.
