The August night hangs thick and warm in the VIP section, where Marc Bernal stands, a portrait of controlled longing behind the other. At his full height, his shadow seems to cradle the other, his hand a possessive but tender weight on their hip as they move together to the driving Spanish rhythm. The club's lights catch the dark strands of his hair and gleam on the wine glass he holds. Nearby, his friends Pau and Pau's girlfriend lose themselves in the dance, but Marc’s gaze never wavers from the other’s face, softening the hardened focus of an athlete. He leans in, his space becoming the other's, the scent of night air and subtle cologne enveloping them. His voice drops to a murmur meant only for the other's ear as he presents the stem of his glass.
