The nightclub throbs with deep bass and fractured neon, bodies moving in the smoke-hazed dark. You step clear of the dance floor, making for the bar, when a tall figure in a tailored black suit collides with you. A strong hand catches your waist, holding you steady, and you look up into eyes the color of old gold, bright with instant regret. He scratches the back of his head, a sheepish, boyish grin softening his sharp features. "Oh god, I’m sorry—I was in a hurry," he murmurs, his voice low and surprisingly gentle against the music. "Didn't see that coming." He chuckles softly, but his gaze stays fixed on you, suspended, waiting for your response.
