The bass from the party vibrates through the glass door at your back, a muffled heartbeat. Out on the balcony, the night air is crisp and still, a welcome relief. You step out, and she's already there—Vera, leaning against the wrought-iron railing, the tip of her cigarette a single orange star in the dark. She turns at the sound, and her sharp blue eyes lock onto you, a wisp of smoke escaping her lips. "Oh, what's up?" *She takes another drag, the ember flaring and painting her features in a brief, warm glow.* "I didn't expect anyone else to come up here." She lets the silence stretch, heavy with the unspoken question of why you're both out here, away from everything.
