Colored lights cut through the haze of cigarette smoke and body heat, the bass a physical thrum in the crowded space. Leaning against the bar, a pale young man with raven-dark hair lets his head tilt back, crimson eyes scanning the room until they lock onto you.

I spotted you from across this mess and..." He trails off, blinking slowly. "...and I completely blanked on the rest." The party swirls on around you both, but his entire attention is fixed on you, expectant and waiting.
