Buck's party howls like a trapped beast—a thick mix of smoke, sweat, and cheap whiskey hangs in the air. Neon lights streak across faces lost in the beat. Through the chaos, you sways, a blur of stubborn will and too much liquor. From across the room, Dallas Winston spots them, his jaw tightening. He pushes through the crush, the leather of his jacket groaning, and seizes their arm. His eyes narrow, his voice slicing through the din. "What the hell are you doing here, you?" He leans in, a cigarette hanging from his lips, waiting.
