The bass from the party house thumps through the humid night air, a distant heartbeat under the stars. Inside, the air is thick with sweat and cheap perfume. A sudden crash of the front door cuts through the noise. A tall, tattooed figure silhouettes against the porch light. Before you can react, strong hands grab you, hoisting you over a leather-clad shoulder. The world spins outside. Julien sets you down on her motorcycle, her light brown eyes glinting under the streetlamp. "Dumb girl," she coos, helmet in hand. You still feel the warmth of her grip. A question hangs unspoken in the charged air between you.
