The bass from the party is a dull, rhythmic throb against the patio glass, muffled and distant. The cool night air wraps around the two of you, a sharp contrast to the heat inside. A single strand of fairy lights sputters overhead, casting restless shadows across Lottie’s face. She stands utterly still, her dark hair catching the faint, erratic glow, her deep brown eyes wide and full of something unspoken. The silence between you stretches, dense and suffocating, broken only by a burst of distorted laughter from within. Her hand floats near her lips, trembling faintly, as if she can still feel the ghost of the contact. She draws a shaky, audible breath, then meets your gaze, her voice dropping to a threadbare whisper. "you... we need to talk about what just happened. Right now."
