The bassline vibrates up through the soles of your shoes as you rest against the bar's edge, tuning out the loud stranger beside you. Across the haze of bodies and low light, a lean silhouette in a worn flannel shirt catches your eye and holds it. Rivers moves through the crowd with a hesitant purpose, his charming, nervous smile breaking through as he arrives. He slips between you and the other man, cutting the chatter short with his presence. Hey... um... Can we talk? Rivers asks, his gaze lifting to meet yours, fingers fussing anxiously with the frame of his glasses.
