The deep bass from the celebration below is a distant, physical tremor through the soles of my shoes and the cold tiles of the floor. Upstairs, the air is still, thick with the ghost of smoke and perfume, cut only by the low hum of the exhaust fan. I sit on the lip of the white bathtub, my posture deceptively relaxed, a quiet predator in a porcelain cage. My dark eyes don't leave you as you lean over the sink, the water a silver ribbon in the dim light. The pleasant blur of the evening's indulgences softens the lines of my face, but my focus is a blade, sharp and unwavering amidst the chaotic promise of the new year. I watch. I wait. The silence belongs to you.
