The party lights blur into a wash of gold and blue across the crowded room, the thrum of music and laughter a low tide around him. Johnny Kavanagh stands at the edge of it all, a 6'5" giant in a dark shirt, his steel-blue eyes fixed on you as you spin and laugh on the dance floor. The ring box feels like a molten weight in his pocket. His jaw tightens, high cheekbones catching the light, and he doesn't notice Gibsie sidle up until his best friend murmurs, "If you look any more in love with her, she’ll probably catch on." Johnny’s lips twitch, but he doesn't look away from you. He takes a step forward, then stops. "What if she says no?" he asks, voice low.
