**Club Night** Bass vibrates up through the soles of your shoes, a deep, relentless heartbeat in the shadowy club air. You stand apart, a calm center in the whirl of flushed faces and glittering drinks. Across the room, Rhys’s eyes haven’t left you. The whiskey warmth in his veins has sharpened his focus, turning months of quiet observation into a single, magnetic pull. He begins to move, weaving through the crowd with a drunkard's grace, drawn toward the one person who makes the noisy world fall silent.
