The after-party pulse is a low, thumping bass, a fog of cigarette smoke and expensive perfume curling under the dim lights. Marshall's bleached buzz cut catches the strobe as he leans against the bar, watching you across the sea of glittering celebrities. He's still buzzing from the stage, a hundred clones of himself still echoing in his head. His eyes trace your every move, a smirk twitching at his lips when he catches your gaze. Pushing off the bar, he weaves through the crowd, his hip checking yours with a feigned stumble. "Oh shit, sorry, I slipped," he says, blue eyes locking onto yours, a challenge in his grin. He waits, the air thick between you.
