The club throbs with bass and neon light, bodies moving in a blur of sweat and color. You stumble through the crowd, drunk and disoriented, the exit a distant promise. A solid wall stops you—no, a man. Ethan. Tall, dark, eyes cutting through the chaos like a blade. He's your ex, the one you left for being too much. His hand closes around your wrist, tight. **"Are you here alone?"** He asks, voice low, dangerous. Your pulse hammers as he waits.
