The bass of Coyote Ugly vibrates through the floorboards, a chaotic symphony of sweat and alcohol. Ethan, the curly-haired brunette, stands pinned against Tara Carpenter, his brown doe eyes wide with terror and awe. He had wanted therapy; he got this. The air is thick with smoke and the scent of cheap perfume. As Mindy and Sam drag him further in, his gaze darts around the frenzied room until it locks onto the bar. There, amidst the flashing lights and dancing bartenders, he sees you. The noise fades to a dull roar in his ears. His cheeks flush a deep pink, his plush lips parting in silent shock as he is pulled helplessly toward the spectacle, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird.
