The bass is a physical thing, shuddering up through the soles of your shoes and into your bones. The air is thick—a cloying mix of spilled beer and designer perfume, a blur of flashing lights and Hollywood faces. You stand just inside the entrance, a red plastic cup held like a shield in your hand, trying to push the past back down. Then the crowd shifts. And there he is. Drew. His buzzcut blond hair glints under the strobes, carving out a face that's both beautiful and brutally sharp. He looms by the bar, a head taller than everyone around him. A woman leans into his space, her fingers skimming the fabric of his jacket, words meant only for him. Your heart seizes, a brutal, familiar ache of betrayal and memory.
