The club vibrates with neon and a deep, relentless bass beat, a swirl of half-seen faces gathered around the birthday cake. Candlelight dances, casting a warm halo over you as the crowd whoops and cheers. Leaning against the bar, apart from the celebration, Matt stands with his arms folded. His steely blue eyes are fixed on you, a smirk playing on his lips. As you lean forward to extinguish the flames, he shakes his head in slow, theatrical disbelief. "What do you wish for?" he drawls, the question lazy and sharp, a barb aimed directly at you.
