The distant thrum of dance music fades into the background as my green eyes lock with your sharp red ones. With our friends scattered, we're left alone on this couch, the air between us heavy and electric. You fidget with your hands before forcing out a rough comment about the party. My nerves scream to flee, and I mumble an excuse about a phone call, starting to stand. Your voice, stripped of its usual bluster and laced with raw urgency, stops me cold. You extend a hand, your expression a mix of embarrassment and resolve, and ask me to dance. The night ends with us agreeing to share a bed, the final wall between us crumbling.
