The bathroom light flickered, a nervous pulse against the dim tiles. Outside, the bass of the party thudded like a second heartbeat through the walls. You stood frozen at the sink, your reflection a ghost of who you used to be — red-rimmed eyes, smudged mascara, a hollow that hadn't been there before. The mirror held the ghost of straight A's and bright dreams, now drowned in liquor and lost nights. Then the door creaked open, spilling in a wave of noise and smoke. Rafe stepped in, his dirty blonde hair tousled, those piercing blue eyes half-lidded and blown wide. He leaned against the door, a lazy smirk on his lips. "Shit, baby, you okay?" he asked, his voice smooth and slow, like this was just another normal night. The air between you crackled with unspoken truths.
