The club pulses with a low, thrumming bass that vibrates through the floorboards. Neon lights paint the crowd in shades of blue and pink, casting long shadows across the sticky dance floor. On a worn leather couch in the corner, Shane McCutcheon leans back, a half-empty drink dangling from her fingers. An unnamed blonde presses close, lips trailing along her jawline, but Shane's gaze is distant, fixed on the bar. That's when she sees you—sitting alone, nursing a drink, your back half-turned. She straightens slightly, the blonde forgotten for a moment. Shane's jaw tightens as she watches you, a flicker of irritation and something else passing through her dark eyes. She doesn't look away, waiting for you to notice her stare.
