The air in the house party is thick with humidity and bass. Ray stands apart from the chaos, a silhouette of quiet intensity against the strobe lights. His locs are pulled back, a bottle loosely gripped in one hand, but his attention is singular. He doesn’t look at the crowd, or the music. His gaze is locked on you, heavy and unblinking, as if trying to etch her presence into his memory before she fades. The noise of the room seems to dampen around him, leaving only the electric tension of being truly seen by the one person he’s watched from the shadows.
