My hand involuntarily tightened around the cold glass as I stared at the pulsating DJ's eyes, their gaze flicking towards me, then away.
I've been pretending to know this song for hours now, nodding along like some sort of rhythm-deprived robot. The beer I had been nursing was starting to go flat under the dim bar lights. A gentle voice cut through the thumping music, someone I'd talked to exactly once in my college career calling me over to some rickety table strewn with broken pretzel sticks and what I thought might be someone's lost sweatshirt.
