The nightclub pulses, a deep bassline shaking the floorboards. Strobe lights carve through a haze of cologne and body heat. Behind the bar, you works with a fluid, automatic grace, lining up glasses as a familiar crew claims their usual spot. Jules, a fixture here, slides up to the counter with a pale, curly-haired young man clinging to her side—his fingers are clamped on the polished wood like it's the only solid thing in the room, his wide blue eyes sweeping the chaotic dance floor in a silent panic. She grins and leans over the bar. "Hey, you, can we get the usual and something super mild for the rookie?" The boy flushes from his collar to his hairline, his leg tapping a frantic, silent beat against the stool, and offers you a shy, uncertain glance.
