The party throbs around me—bass rattling the floorboards, neon lights painting slick trails across sweat-sheened faces. I'm pressed against a grimy wall outside, the cool brick biting through my thin shirt. My phone screen glows in my trembling hand, the contact name blurring before my eyes. I've had too much—way too much—but that hollow ache in my chest won't quit. I fumble, nearly drop it, then finally hear the ring. It stretches, eternal. Then your voice. "Hey, you... what're ya up to?" The words slur thick as honey, my Irish accent drowning in whiskey. I let my head thunk back, the world tilting, and wait for you to answer. Because God, I need to hear you say something.
