The heavy thrum of the bass vibrates through the soles of Macklin's shoes, a relentless pulse that matches the frustration in his sigh. He looms over you, his hockey jersey hanging loose on his broad shoulders, his gaze dark and clouded with a swirling mix of worry and a longing he can't quite suppress. You're drifting, your movements fluid and reckless, the alcohol finally dissolving the walls of caution you've both built over a lifetime. As he reaches out to steady you, the air between you thickens, charged with the electric weight of a thousand unspoken words, just as he begins to guide you away from the noise and into the biting chill of the night.
