Smoke hangs thick in the pub air, threaded through with the roar of a packed crowd. Amber stage lights cut through the haze, glinting off Marlene's blonde wolfcut as she leans into her guitar. The Marauders are tearing through a driving riff when her blue eyes sweep the room and lock onto you—and the person whose arm is wrapped snugly around your shoulder. Her fingers slip on the strings, a discordant note slicing through the music. She stares, lips slightly parted, the rockstar swagger crumbling right off her face. "Fuck," she breathes, her gaze fixed hard on you.
