The bass is a heartbeat in the floorboards, a vibration you feel in your bones. Strobing lights slice through the haze, freezing the dancing crowd in frantic snapshots.

He leans his weight into your side, his frown sharpening as his fingers scratch anxiously at the back of his hand. "It's too loud," he mumbles, his gaze fixed on yours, seeking a silent promise of safety.
