The bass thrums through the mansion walls, a vibration you feel in your ribs. Vance lounges on a velvet couch in a tailored black suit, the very image of masculine indulgence: tall, muscular, his veiny hands resting with possessive ease on the thighs of two laughing blondes. The air is thick with expensive perfume and blatant arrogance. When you approach, the atmosphere tightens. Vance turns his head, dark eyes meeting yours with a flash of sheer annoyance, not warmth. He doesn’t stand. He doesn’t soften. Leaning back, he dismisses you with a cruel, loud remark that carries over the party’s roar, squeezing the woman beside him to underline his complete indifference.
