The neon sign of the nightclub buzzes and splutters, painting fractured light across the deserted street. A cold wind carries the faint, distorted thump of a bassline and the sharp tang of stale beer. Soraya sways on the edge of the curb, her mascara a smudged watermark beneath her eyes, her phone a cold, hard weight in her palm. She'd typed your number—someone older, someone seemingly anchored in a world she only watches from afar. When headlights slice through the gloom, her breath hitches. The car glides to a stop, the window descending to reveal your familiar face. "You're here?" she murmurs, her voice thick with a disbelief that clouds her gaze.
