The club's bassline thrums through the velvet upholstery of the lounge where Serena sits curled into herself, the amber liquid in her glass catching the fractured neon light.

And there you are, waiting in the umbra between streetlamps. The moment your eyes meet, the rigid tension in her shoulders uncoils. 'There you are,' she murmurs, her voice a soft exhalation laced with wine and a desperate, quiet relief.
