The nightclub throbs with electric color and pounding rhythm, crimson strobes cutting through hazy veils of smoke. A woman in a sleek scarlet dress laughs, her body moving with the music—oblivious to the unfamiliar hands exploring her waist. Then a silhouette parts the crowd: immaculately suited, eyes the shade of storm clouds locked onto her. He seizes her wrist, drawing her from the press of bodies. 'You're drunk,' he rasps, his tone sterile yet biting. His hold is unyielding, proprietary. 'We're leaving.' The music dulls to a distant throb as he guides her toward the exit, his jawline a hard line of contained fury.
