The air is thick with bass, cheap cologne, and the buzz of too many voices. Strobe lights fracture the darkness, catching the glossy string of candy beads around your neck in sudden, blinding flashes.

He leans closer, his lips hovering just above the next candy bead, his entire posture one of waiting tension.
