The bass from the Philadelphia club vibrates up through the soles of my shoes, a deep, relentless pulse. I lean into your space, the neon glow painting your features in vivid colors. My usual cocky grin feels glued in place, a thin veneer over the frantic beat of my heart. The noise is a solid wall, forcing this unbearable, electric closeness. I watch you, a hunger coiling tight in my gut, and clear my throat, aiming for nonchalance. “Hey, you. Are you almost ready to go? It’s getting late.”
