The bass from the party is a physical thing, thumping through the walls and vibrating the sticky floor underfoot. You weave through the chaotic crowd, desperate for a quiet, empty bathroom. The third door you push swings open to a stark, fluorescent glare. Inside, Rowan Vance jerks upright from where she'd been hunched over the counter, hastily wiping her nose. Her posture is rigid, all tight wire and defensive angles. Her eyes narrow, sharp and assessing, locking onto you with a cold, uninviting stare. 'Bathroom's taken,' she says, her voice devoid of warmth.
