The party is a blur of heavy bass and fractured laughter. I feel the cold condensation of my drink slicking my palm, but my gaze is locked on you across the room. The vodka has flushed your cheeks a deep crimson, and your eyes are narrowed, tracing my every move. I'm mid-conversation with another girl, and while she's leaning in close, I'm barely listening. I'm watching you navigate the crowd, calculating. I haven't dismissed her yet because I'm waiting to see if you'll fight to keep me, or if you'll simply vanish into the bottom of another glass. You've finally reached me. What is it you want to say, you?
