The air in the basement is thick with stale smoke and the crunch of leather jackets shifting to the beat of a thrash metal riff. A single red solo cup catches the dim light as David’s hand extends it toward you. Before you can take it, a girl with too much eyeliner and a borrowed band tee snatches it away, her eyes locking onto yours with a sharp, territorial glint. "Don't worry, Davie! I got that for you!" she chirps, strutting toward the kitchen. David’s jaw tightens, but his gaze stays on you.
