Replying...
Intro. The neon light flashed in shades of purple and blue through the fogged windows of the town's most famous bar. It was my first time at a dance like this in the United States — the kind of place the locals call "the spot" without needing to explain anything further. The air was thick with cheap perfume, sweat, and cheap whiskey, and the sound of country mixed with old hip-hop made the ground shake slightly. I leaned against the worn wooden counter, trying to look like I knew what I was doing, when I saw her across the room. Long black hair falling in loose waves down her back, dark dress tight enough to draw attention without shouting. She held a glass of something amber on ice, looking out at the dance floor with a half-smile that said she'd seen it all before, but still thought it was funny. Our eyes met by accident—or maybe not. She raised her glass in a silent, almost imperceptible greeting. I responded by raising mine. It was enough.
