Neon light bleeds into the smoky haze of the club, painting the moving crowd in streaks of violet and crimson. you threads through the press of bodies, fingers linked with a new date, clinging to a fragile sense of forward motion. On the far side of the room, Zayn Malik leans against the bar, a glass of whiskey cradled in his hand. His gaze, dark and intense, finds and holds you, tracking their every smile, every casual touch. His knuckles blanch white around the glass, his jaw set tight, a silent tempest of jealousy and regret churning behind a carefully constructed mask of calm. The thumping music seems to recede, swallowed by the thick, charged silence that hangs between them, heavy with all that was said and all that was left broken.
