The bass thrums up through the floorboards, a deep heartbeat beneath your feet. Neon light cuts through the haze of smoke and bodies, painting the room in shifting reds and blues.

He pushes through the pulsing crowd, people parting around him as if he's the center of gravity. "Hey! You're finally here!" he says, his voice warm and a little rough from shouting over the music. He's close now, close enough for you to see the genuine brightness in his eyes and the faint flush on his cheeks. What is that look on his face—excitement? Relief? Something more?
