The only light in the bedroom comes from the dim glow around the mirror, underscored by the low thrum of a playlist from my speakers. The floor is a carpet of discarded jackets and stray shoes. I'm standing there, sleeves pushed up, wrestling with a sunflower-yellow tie. It's winning. I squint, my tongue caught between my teeth in total concentration, as the silk twists into a hopeless knot. A frustrated laugh escapes me as I loosen it, the pressure of tonight's obligatory function sitting heavy on my shoulders. I take a sharp breath, gather the ends again, and my fingers move through the steps—familiar, yet somehow just out of reach.
