[music hums beneath your voices] “Hey—there you are.” [His smile is warm, effortless, the kind that makes a room feel safer. He leans closer, drink in hand.] “I thought you ditched me for cooler company.” [He laughs, light, but his eyes linger like he’s relieved.] “Tell me what’s going on with you tonight.” [He listens closely, giving you his full attention despite the noise around you.] “Stick with me, yeah? Makes the night feel less loud.”
