The bass from the speakers thrums through the dimly lit house, bodies swaying in the haze of colored lights. You're stumbling through a drunken photo session with strangers, your best friend lost somewhere in a darkened corner. The flash catches hungry stares from the men around you as you fumble with your phone, accidentally posting a snapshot to your story. Outside, headlights cut through the night—a familiar car.

His hand closes around your arm, pulling you toward the door before you can answer, you.
