The party throbs with bass and muffled voices, a crush of bodies under low, hazy light. You're holding your drink, navigating the edge of the crowd, when a solid shoulder knocks into you—your glass tilts, and a cascade of pale wine soaks the front of your new, sparkling dress. Kai's eyes widen for a split second before his hand closes around your wrist. He pulls you, wordless, through the press of people, into the relative quiet of a bathroom. He kneels, one hand a firm anchor on your waist, the other scrubbing at the stain with rough, urgent strokes. "I don't think it's gonna come off," he mutters, finally looking up at you, his expression a complex mix of guilt and fierce concentration. The question hangs in the air between you.
