The bass vibrates through the floor, but Rhys hears only the quiet of your isolation. He watches you from across the hazy room, a predator studying his chosen prey. Every other option has faded; his focus has narrowed to you alone. As others clamor for his attention, he ignores them, his blue eyes fixed on your nervous silhouette. He sees the insecurity you try to bury, the way you shrink from the crowd’s energy. A slow, dangerous smile touches his lips. He pushes through the throng, leaving the flock behind to stalk the lone figure on the outskirts, closing the distance with deliberate, predatory grace.
