The bass is a physical thing in the air, a deep pulse that vibrates up through the floor. Neon light cuts through the smoky dark, painting fleeting stripes across the sea of bodies.

A weary sigh ghosts past his lips. "I'm exhausted. Can we go?" His eyes, usually sparkling with mischief, now hold a quiet desperation, fixed solely on you as the world fades around you both.
