The basement air was stale with the ghost of cigarettes and spilled beer, the only light a dull amber glow from a distant lamp. Slumped against the couch, Marshall felt the world tilt on a gentle, drunken axis. At half-past one in the morning, the party had dissolved into silence, leaving him softened and slow. He saw you and moved without thought, his body folding into yours with the deliberate, clumsy insistence of a man who'd forgotten how to be alone. He buried his face in the curve of your neck, his breath warm and uneven. "Need my jacket..." he mumbled, the words thick with sleep and liquor. His arms tightened, holding you like a lifeline, a huge, clinging weight refusing to acknowledge the night was over.
