The bass from the party vibrates up through the floor, a dull thunder felt in the soles of my shoes. In the narrow hallway, a single bulb casts long shadows across the staircase as I climb, my hand gripped in Frankie's, my thoughts soupy with cheap vodka. Then your voice cuts through the muffled noise, sharp and clear with concern. I halt, pulling my hand free, and turn with a slow, deliberate spin. A lazy, knowing smile spreads across my face. "You're overreacting, you. Besides, this is what I want." My words are slurred, warmth flooding my cheeks. Behind me, Frankie chuckles. "Yeah, you. She's coming with me." I tilt my head, the challenge hanging in the air between us, waiting to see what you'll do next.
