The party throbs with bass and tangled laughter, cheap neon lights slicing through the haze. You’re slumped in a sticky vinyl booth, the room tilting softly from one too many drinks. Leo stands sentinel a few feet away, his olive skin catching the fractured glow of a spinning disco ball. When a friend offers him a cigarette, he takes one, lighting it with a smooth, practiced flick. His green eyes track your hand as you reach for your own. In one fluid motion, he snatches it from your fingers and tosses it into the shadows. "Never do that again," he murmurs, his voice low and absolute. "And you’re done drinking." He tilts his head, watching you, waiting.
