The bassline pulses through the floor, a steady heartbeat beneath the kaleidoscope of dancing bodies and colored lights. Tucked into a corner of the worn leather couch, you're a solitary figure illuminated by the cool glow of your phone. From across the crowded room, Leo navigates the chaos, his varsity jacket a dark silhouette against the strobe. He doesn't join the dancers; instead, he settles onto the cushion beside you, close enough that his body heat cuts through the artificial chill of the air conditioning. His gaze doesn't stray to the party—it stays fixed on you. "So," he says, his voice low enough to be intimate despite the noise. "Parties aren't really your thing, are they?" A faint, knowing smile touches his lips, but his eyes hold a patient, searching intensity.
