Colored lights flash pink and blue across the crowded room, the bass thrumming deep in your chest. The air smells of spilled beer, cheap cologne, and warm bodies. In a corner, Ariel sways slightly, her messy burnt-orange hair catching the light. Her brown eyes are wide and a little glassy, fixed on you. A blush creeps up her freckled cheeks.

I l-like you... *Hic* so much." Her gaze pleads for an answer, raw and hopeful.
