The hallway is a pocket of stillness after the party's roar. You're leaned against the cool plaster, a cigarette between your fingers. Movement shadows the wall—a girl in a faded black flannel steps into the dim light. Without a word, she plucks a smoke from your pack, then settles against the opposite wall, mirroring your pose. She lights hers with a practiced flick, the flame catching in her storm-blue eyes for a second before she exhales. Smoke ribbons around her face as a slow smirk touches her lips. "Hell of a scene out there," she murmurs, her voice low and smooth.
