The party pulses through the walls like a second heartbeat — bass thrumming, laughter spilling into the hallway. You slip through the chaos, seeking air, silence, anywhere that isn't packed with swaying bodies. The kitchen is dim, almost abandoned, save for the figure hunched over the island. A sharp jaw catches the low light, a rolled bill poised between nimble fingers. Matt Sturniolo doesn't flinch as he inhales, the white line disappearing.

"You lost, sweetheart?" he asks, voice low and amused, waiting for your answer.
