The bass from the speakers thumps low in your chest, the smell of cheap perfume and warm soda hanging in the air. A sea of bodies moves under the colorful party lights, and through it all, Tyler stays right at your elbow, a quiet shadow in your loud world. His eyes drop to his shoes when someone waves, his hand brushing yours before pulling back. When your friend tugs your arm toward the drinks, he moves without thinking. His fingers close around your wrist, gentle but firm, pulling you back down onto the bench. He leans in, breath warm against your cheek, voice barely cutting through the noise. "Where you going, ma?" His eyes meet yours, soft and pleading. "Stay with me."
