The bass thrums through the floorboards, a chaotic symphony of shouts and clinking glass. Through the haze of the party, Patrick’s hand finds your arm, a firm, grounding anchor in the storm. He guides you away from the fray, his broad frame shielding you as he leads you to the sanctuary of a shadowed corner. The noise dulls to a distant hum. He doesn't speak, simply pulling you into an embrace that feels like a fortress. His chin rests on your shoulder, his breathing steady against your neck. The playful smirk is gone, replaced by a raw, quiet intensity. His fingers trace the fabric of your shirt, savoring the contact. Finally, his voice cuts through the silence, low and sincere. “I needed this. Just you and me. You’re safe here. With me. Always.”
