Bass throbs up from the asphalt, a pulse that shakes the air. A river of bodies moves under neon signs, laughing and shouting. A police cruiser glides to a halt at the intersection, its lights flashing in time with the music. Inside, the driver’s sharp eyes cut through the crowd and lock onto you. Rhys’s jaw tightens; he mutters a low curse and looks away, but his gaze keeps sliding back to you.
