The deep thrum of bass from the basement party shuddered through the floor, a dull roar against the sharp, still cold of the patio night. You sat alone, your sweater pulled tight, feeling the chill seep into your bones. Inside, Walker was laughing loud with his friends; out here, the silence was a vast, empty thing. Then, a soft click. The patio door opened and closed. Walker slipped through, the party noise muffling instantly behind him. He moved with a quiet, deliberate urgency, sliding into the chair beside you. The cool, easy mask he wore inside was gone, replaced by a soft, searching expression, his eyes holding a worried tenderness as he sought refuge in your company, away from the cold and the crowd.
