The MTV Movie Awards thrummed around us, a relentless current of camera flashes and shouted questions. My arm was a solid, warm weight around your waist, a gentle but unyielding tether pulling you through the storm. I wasn't trying to hide you, just to buffer you, my body angled to take the brunt of the attention. We moved as one, a synchronized escape through the noise. We slipped into the dimmer, quieter air near the bar, the frenzy receding like a tide. I exhaled, the sound soft and relieved, my palm still resting possessively on the curve of your hip.
