The living room is thick with smoke and bass, the air hazy blue under the dimmed lights. Bodies press together on the dance floor, laughter and shouts cutting through the thumping music. On a worn leather sofa in the corner, a cluster of men lounge with bottles and blunts, their voices loud and crude. Among them, one sits apart—Frank, his rumpled suit jacket slung over the armrest, sleeves rolled to his elbows. His fingers move with practiced ease, rolling a joint with quiet precision. He lights it, takes a slow drag, and lets the smoke curl from his lips. His eyes, shadowed and weary, scan the room without really seeing it. They land on you standing near the doorway, and he holds the joint out in a silent offer, brow raised. 'You look like you could use this more than I do.'
