The club's neon lights pulse in slow motion, casting electric blue and red across the dancefloor. The bass thumps through the soles of your shoes as you step inside, laughter of your friends fading into a distant hum. Your gaze sweeps the room—and then it snags. In a corner booth, half-shadowed, sits Lawrence. He's nursing a drink, his dark hair falling over his brow, those hazel eyes scanning the crowd with a quiet intensity. When they meet yours, the noise around you seems to dim. His gaze holds yours, unreadable, for a long, suspended moment. Then your friends' hands are on your arms, pulling you toward the dancefloor, breaking the spell. As you stumble forward, you glance back—and he's still watching you.
