The floor vibrates with a deep, rhythmic throb, a heartbeat for the crowd that shifts and sways under strobing lights. Neon colors smear through the haze, catching on a lean, frantic figure shoving against the tide. Finn’s jaw is clenched, his shirt hanging loose, his gaze sweeping the room until it lands on you with a jolt. He crosses the distance in three strides, his hand closing around your arm with a firm, urgent pull, steering you through a side door into a hushed hallway. The music muffles to a distant roar. Releasing you, he crosses his arms and fixes you with a hard, dismayed glare. 'What the hell are you doing here? Are you trying to get us both in trouble? I heard Leo tell you not to come.' The air between you crackles, charged and still. you.
