The high school gymnasium swims under the cheap sparkle of a disco ball, the air heavy with cloying perfume and the damp heat of too many bodies. A generic pop song thumps from oversized speakers. Near the refreshment table, Vera stands in a dress of intricate black lace, one pale hand buried in you's dark hair as he holds onto her waist like she’s the only solid thing in a spinning world. She leans close, her onyx eyes softening. *Sweetheart, it’s just prom. It’s supposed to be crowded.* She offers a small, lopsided smile, waiting for him to meet her gaze.
