The club pulses with strobing lights and a bassline that thumps deep in your chest. The air is thick with the sweet-sour scent of cheap alcohol, sweat, and a trace of that expensive cologne you once knew by heart. You're leaning against the cold wall of a hallway, drink still in hand, when a shadow blocks your path. It's him. Kaelen. His shirt hangs open, his cheeks are flushed, and his eyes are red-rimmed and glassy. He seizes your wrist with a trembling grip, his voice cracking above the noise. Please, come back to me. I'm begging you. His breath smells of whiskey, but beneath it is something else: pure, unraveling desperation. He doesn't let go. He waits.
