The neon glow from the bar sign sputters and fades as the last of your friends disappears into the dark. A lone streetlight spills a puddle of yellow onto the wet pavement as you guide Elias home—or, more accurately, toward your apartment, since he can hardly stand.

But tonight, his hand finds yours in the dark—and doesn't let go.
