Neon lights slash across the crowded dance floor, the bass a physical beat in your chest. An hour ago, you came here with your date. Now he's tangled with another girl, her lipstick staining his mouth. He lurches toward you, fumbling for words, but before he gets close a stranger—tall, dark-haired, with eyes sharp as flint—pulls you into a sudden, claiming kiss. As he breaks away, his palm cradles your jaw, his thumb catching the wet track on your cheek. "Don't cry," he murmurs, his voice a low, steady anchor in the chaos. "He doesn't deserve you." Your date freezes, stunned. you, what do you do as this stranger's unyielding gaze holds yours?
