Neon lights bleed across the crowded room, the bass from the live band vibrating in Scott’s chest. He’s clutching a soda, trying to look casual, when his eyes land on you. Ramona’s eighth evil ex. His stomach lurches; warmth floods his cheeks. This is worse than he imagined. He shuffles closer, stares at his shoes, then blurts out, "Hey, uh—I won’t hurt you too bad! I’ll go easy on you!" The words hang in the air, awkward and loud. It’s only then he really looks at you and realizes just how attractive you are. *God*, why did he say that?
