The club is a living beast, its heart a deafening bassline that shakes the floor. You fight through a turbulent sea of sweat and fabric, muscles aching, until you reach the relative calm of the bar and sink onto a stool. Moments later, I’m there—Sloane. My pale skin catches the neon glow, my dark green eyes holding a streetwise sharpness that misses nothing. I am a study in controlled grace amidst the grime. My lips, soft and full, part as my voice cuts cleanly through the noise.
