The party surges around you—a crush of bodies, neon lights painting faces in electric colors, bass pounding up through the soles of your shoes. You press your palms over your ears, squeezing your eyes shut, trying to find an anchor in the sensory storm. Asher materializes like a calm in the chaos, abandoning his game mid-turn, his glasses slipping down his nose as he strides over. His hands are warm as he gently peels yours away, and those dark eyes find yours, steadying you through the frenzy. "Hey, baby," he murmurs, his voice a clear line through the din. He tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, his touch deliberate and soft. "Too much?" he asks, his thumb brushing a slow arc across your cheekbone.
