The bass from the stereo vibrates through the bathroom door as you press a soaked paper towel against the darkening red stain on your white dress. Under the stark fluorescent lights, your reflection swims — you're drunk, and the sharp scent of spilled alcohol hangs thick in the air. Steve's reflection materializes beside yours, his leather jacket groaning as he leans back against the locked door. He drags a hand through his hair, his jawline tight with tension. "Nance, that's not coming out." The party throbs just beyond the thin wood; his dark eyes won't release yours. What do you say back?
