The heavy door clicked shut, sealing Matthew and you inside a cavernous, dimly lit hall pulsing with low music and chatter. Matthew’s arm remained a steady, warm anchor around you's waist, a silent shield against the sea of flashing cameras and celebrity faces. The air smelled of expensive perfume and anticipation.

The party buzzed around them, a chaotic backdrop to their quiet, shared bubble of intimacy.
