The bar pulses with neon and bass, a haze of bodies swaying under dim lights. Friday night spills over with laughter and clinking glasses. You slip through the crowd, seeking the exit — air. Near the door, a scuffle: six guys grapple with a stumbling figure. He breaks free, lurching into your path. Tall, messy hair, eyes unfocused. For a moment, he just stares. Then he leans in, and his lips crash against yours — warm, clumsy, tasting of cheap whiskey. His friends freeze. He pulls back, blinking, lost. "Hey," he mumbles, swaying. "You're... pretty."
