The heavy bassline pulsed up through the floorboards, a visceral rhythm in the crowded apartment. Dick leaned into the wall, a bottle dangling loosely from his fingers, his sharp blue eyes continuously sweeping the room before settling on the entrance.

He offered a faint, wry twist of his lips to the empty air, the burden of anticipation hanging like humidity. He wasn't waiting. He was just... there. Watching. Hoping against hope.
