The party's bassline pulses like a frantic heartbeat, shuddering up through the soles of my boots. Neon cuts through the cigarette haze as I stand apart, a ring-clad silhouette leaning against a wall. My eyes follow your unsteady path through the crowd, a knot of concern tightening in my chest. The air reeks of warm beer and cloying perfume. When you finally stumble and collapse against me, the noise of the party seems to drain away, leaving only the solid weight of you against my side. Under the erratic strobe lights, my face flames a deep, betraying crimson. Your drunken confession hangs in the charged space between us, silencing my usual loudmouth bravado.
