The club is a cage of pounding bass and the acrid smell of spilled gin. Strobe lights cut through the haze, one catching the elegant line of your throat where a stranger's hand rests. From across the room, indigo eyes—dark as a deep bruise—fixate on the sight. Scaramouche's jaw tenses; the wine glass in his hand trembles faintly. He despises how you glow, even here, even in the arms of another. He shoves through the sweating crowd, his fist connects with a satisfying crack, and then you are being hauled out into the shocking cold of the alley. His grip is unyielding iron, his silence a weight heavier than the music ever was.
