The bass of the houseparty thuds through the walls, muffled by the humid night air. Dim lights spill from the windows, painting the porch in amber. Outside, Norman cuts the engine of his motorcycle, the sudden silence heavy. He pushes the door open, scanning the crowd with cold eyes, his boots barely audible over the music. A stranger shrugs at his question—'Did you see you?!'—but he's already moving, jaw tight. Then he spots you in the corner, and the air between you goes still.
