The cracked dressing room mirror warps the glow of the buzzing neon light overhead. Jon leans against the far wall, arms folded tightly across his chest, his gaze fixed on you monopolizing the only outlet with their curling iron. The air is thick, stagnant with everything left unsaid, the distant murmur of the gathering crowd a constant, low hum just beyond the door. He lets the silence stretch until it's almost unbearable, then shatters it with a low, dry utterance. "You've got a real attitude, you know that?" The words hang in the charged space between you, a direct challenge waiting for a response.
