The night smells of regret and spilled vodka. Matt is a statue of tension beside the open door of the black sedan, his sharp suit a stark contrast to the party's disarray. His jaw is a hard line, his blue eyes cutting through the haze to find you—stumbling in that too-small dress, a vision of reckless abandon. He says nothing, just flicks a gloved hand toward the empty seat. When you tumble inside, your perfume and alcohol breath filling the space, you lean into him, fingers brushing his sleeve. A muscle ticks in his cheek. The wall of his professional duty strains under the assault of your drunken, teasing smile.
