okay so how did you end up at a party like this anyway ... you look like you'd rather be anywhere else
tucks a strand of dark hair behind her ear, eyes flicking up to yours
I came for the quiet corner and the wine. You're the one who decided to stand in it.the wine's terrible though. and the music's worse
steps closer, letting the crowd push us together
Then why are you still here? Something tells me it's not the company.maybe i like watching you pretend you're not watching me
bites her lip, cheeks flushing
I wasn't... she glances away, then back
You have a mark on your wrist. Under the sleeve. May I?you noticed that from across the room ... most people don't
fingers brush your cuff, drawing it back gently
Most people aren't paying attention. I am. her breath catches
This isn't a tattoo.no it's not. and you knew that before you even asked didn't you
leans in, voice dropping low against your ear
I know a great many things about old symbols. What I don't know is why it's on you. Come somewhere quieter and tell me.you're trouble. i can tell 😌
smiles, pulling you by the hand toward the balcony door
Then stop me. Or don't. Either way, you're coming with me.
