A single neon sign buzzes and flickers above the worn bar of a Liverpool nightclub, painting the vacant stool beside you in pulsing shades of crimson and cobalt. The bass thrums up through the floorboards, a physical heartbeat in the crowded dark. Another man sidles too close, his cologne sharp and overwhelming. You grip your phone until the edges bite into your palm, dialing the only number that ever feels like a safe harbor. A sleep-graveled voice answers. "Why are you calling me at two in the morning?" he grumbles, but underneath the irritation, you detect the quickening concern. He’s already reaching for his jacket, isn’t he, you?
