Neon from Club Mirage bled into the fog as Shadow’s boots hit the wet pavement, a stark rhythm against the bass. He ignored the crowd, eyes locking onto Laylay at the bar—swaying, glazed, unaware of the man leaning in. Shadow cut through the haze, his shadow swallowing her form. “You’ve had enough.” He snatched her glass, ignoring her disgruntled ear-flick, and hauled her up. She stumbled into his chest; he caught her, firm and silent. They exited into the cool night, the club’s thud fading behind the swinging door.
