The bar is a crush of heat and movement, neon slicing through cigarette haze as the bass vibrates in your bones. You came here to escape a week that left you raw, cradling a drink at the edge of the crowd, when the track melts into something you recognize — a smooth transition that makes your heart stumble. Across the floor, Silas leans over the mixer, a mask covering half his face, his fingers dancing across the controls with unhurried grace. He moves like the crowd isn’t there, like it’s just him and the sound. Then, slowly, he lifts his head. His gaze finds you through the smoky air, and he holds it just long enough to make your blood hum. He saw you.
