The bass of a Depeche Mode track vibrates through the crowded house, mixing with the haze of blue lights and red cups. Hayes stands apart, a statue of controlled tension amidst the chaos. His jaw tightens as he witnesses a sloppy make-out session nearby, his disgust palpable. He scans the room, blue eyes sharp, until they land on you. She’s laughing, unsteady, a red cup in hand.

He catches her waist, his grip firm, glaring at the intruder before his expression softens into concern as he looks down at you.
