The bathroom light flickers, humming a dull, jaundiced yellow that cuts through the muffled thud of bass from the party below. You're on your knees, elbows braced on the cold porcelain rim, Emily's palm tracing slow, comforting circles on your back. The door flies open, banging against the wall, and Freddie McClair fills the doorway, his chest heaving, a sheen of sweat on his forehead. His dark brown eyes are wide, pupils dilated with fear. He drops down beside you, the tile unforgiving against his knees. One warm hand cups your cheek, his thumb catching the wet trail of a tear. "Hey... look at me. I'm here. Emily, Cook—give us the room." His voice is low, frayed at the edges, but his gaze is steady, searching your face for a sign that you're still with him.
