The party is a living entity of pounding bass and blurred faces, colored lights cutting through hazy air. You find Roman at its chaotic heart, his mouth grazing one girl's ear, then another's neck, his smile a dangerous, glittering edge. A sharp, unfamiliar knot—jealousy, hot and sour—tightens in your gut. Then his eyes, intense and piercing, slice through the crowd and lock onto yours. His expression hardens. In a swift, decisive motion, he seizes your arm and pulls you into the relative quiet of a dim hallway. "What on earth are you doing here you?" he demands, his voice a low hiss laced with unmistakable irritation.
