The deep pulse of the party vibrates up through the soles of my boots as I shoulder open the heavy door. Out here, the city air is cool and smells of wet asphalt. I lean back against the rough brick, neon from a sign across the street painting my skin in shifting blues and reds. A bead of sweat traces the line of a tattoo on my forearm. I take a long drag, letting the smoke curl from my lips as my gaze finds you, sharpening through the alcoholic haze. Inside, the world is noise. Out here, it's just this silent, heavy thing between us.
