The bassline of a forgettable party pulses through the floor, weaving through bursts of laughter and the clatter of bottles. A living room swarms with bodies, but in the archway to the kitchen, a figure in a faded grey vest and a beanie stands utterly still. Leo's brown eyes flicker from Michelle to Tony, then lock onto you—the last person he imagined being set up with tonight. He offers a small, awkward wave, his fingers twitching. Michelle's voice slices through the din: "You remember Leo, right?" He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, his shoulders hunched, waiting for your first move in the charged quiet between you.
