Court métrageTranscription
00:00I was pregnant, with my father's best friend's child.
00:03I was carrying my father's best friend's baby.
00:06Not Victor's, at least.
00:07That is what I thought then.
00:09It started two months ago.
00:11My name is Ella Whitley.
00:13On a rainy night, Anthony, my boyfriend of three years,
00:16blew all my things out of the apartment.
00:19His new girlfriend Vivian stood in the doorway wearing my Jimmy Choo's.
00:23Stop bothering me. We're done. You're nothing to me.
00:26When did you fall for someone else?
00:30Ah! Go ask your daddy for money!
00:33I'd spent everything on Anthony.
00:34The apartment was mine.
00:36The wool rug. The Dyson. All mine.
00:38But he and Vivian didn't hesitate.
00:40One suitcase. A few clothes.
00:43That was it. The rain was cold.
00:45I had no umbrella. I was soaked and shaking.
00:48I called my father, Alexander.
00:50It took several tries.
00:51When he finally picked up, I heard music.
00:54Women laughing.
00:55Some party. His voice was...
00:56Dad?
00:57Baby, what's wrong?
00:58Anthony threw me out.
01:00He said something, probably flirting with whoever was beside him.
01:04Tweetheart, find a hotel. Use my card. I can't get away right now.
01:08Since mom died, there had been a parade of women.
01:10I never kept track.
01:12I waited, hoping he'd help.
01:14He said, I am busy and hung up.
01:16Three men came out of the alley.
01:18Hats pulled low.
01:19One blocked my path.
01:23Hey, got a light?
01:25I didn't smoke.
01:28Then give us something else.
01:30They came up behind me and snatched my bag.
01:32My phone was inside.
01:34I screamed.
01:35A hand clamped over my mouth.
01:37They dug through my bag.
01:38Wallet.
01:39Phone.
01:40The screen lit up.
01:41He jabbed at it a few times.
01:43I don't know what he pressed.
01:44The phone let out a sharp, piercing alarm.
01:47An emergency signal.
01:48He flinched.
01:49Threw it.
01:50It skidded across the wet pavement.
01:52It crossed the city.
01:53Lower Manhattan.
01:54An abandoned warehouse.
01:56Victor Moretti was holding a man's head underwater in a bucket of ice.
02:00His boots stood in a puddle of blood on the concrete floor.
02:03Water torture.
02:04Old mob tradition.
02:05Victor had just led his crew to victory.
02:08He was expressionless.
02:09Covered in blood.
02:10His shirt clung to his body.
02:12Sleeves rolled up.
02:13Soaked dark red.
02:14Then his phone buzzed.
02:16He nodded to one of his men.
02:17Released his grip.
02:18And pulled out the phone.
02:20An auto sent emergency text.
02:22Sender.
02:22Ellie.
02:23He stared at it for three seconds.
02:25Then he turned and walked out.
02:27Sir!
02:27What do we do with him?
02:29No answer.
02:30He was already at the door.
02:31He got into the block Pagani parked in the alley.
02:34The engine roared like something alive.
02:36He'd never driven this fast.
02:38He called the number, Ellie, as he drove straight to voicemail.
02:42The number you have dialed is not in service.
02:44He tried, Alexander.
02:46No answer.
02:47Damn it.
02:51Damn it.
02:55He knew.
02:56Alexander was busy.
02:57Too busy to notice his daughter's OCS.
03:00Victor floored it.
03:01The car cut through the rain.
03:02He made it in time.
03:04He found me being dragged into an alley by all three of them.
03:07The headlights hit us, blinding.
03:09The men let go and squinted at the light.
03:11The door opened.
03:12Victor stepped out.
03:13Rain soaked through him.
03:14He walked toward us.
03:15His face was stone.
03:16He looked at me.
03:17Then at the three men.
03:18Hey brother.
03:19We were here first.
03:21Victor didn't look at him.
03:22He said my name.
03:23Ellie.
03:24Only Victor called me that.
03:25My father called me Ella.
03:27Like a stranger's name.
03:28Victor said it differently.
03:30Ellie came from somewhere deep in his throat.
03:32Low.
03:32Short.
03:33One of the men decided to push back.
03:35Who the hell do you think-
03:36Victor turned.
03:37The headlights caught his face.
03:39Rain dripped from his jaw.
03:40Moretti.
03:42Mr. Moretti.
03:43The man's hand froze in midair.
03:45His eyes went wide.
03:46The man's voice collapsed from a threat to tremble.
03:49I'm sorry sir.
03:50We didn't do anything.
03:51Please.
03:52Victor wasn't listening.
03:53He was looking at me.
03:54Get in the car.
03:56I got in.
03:56The man kept apologizing behind us.
03:59One word after another.
04:00Victor shut the door.
04:01The engine swallowed everything else.
04:03Silence inside the car.
04:05The heat was on full.
04:06I was still cold.
04:07My wet dress clung to my skin.
04:09Water ran from my hair down my neck and into my collar.
04:12Did my father send you?
04:14No answer.
04:15Where is he?
04:16Still at the party?
04:17Victor reached into the side pocket and tossed a pack of tissues onto my lap.
04:21Casual.
04:22Almost rough.
04:22Dry off.
04:23You'll get sick.
04:25Not concern.
04:26A command.
04:27I pulled out a tissue and started on my face.
04:29It soaked through immediately, falling apart in my fingers.
04:33Then I saw his arm.
04:34The edges of the tear were dark red.
04:35Blood ran down his forearm and dripped onto the steering wheel.
04:39Onto his trousers.
04:40You're bleeding.
04:41He didn't look.
04:41Just kept his eyes on the road.
04:43The wipers swept back and forth.
04:45Yeah.
04:47Shouldn't you do something?
04:49Help me clean it.
04:50I hesitated.
04:51Then I pulled a few clean tissues and leaned across to press them against his arm.
04:55The moment the tissue touched his skin, his muscle tensed.
04:58He didn't pull away.
04:59I started at the elbow.
05:01The blood was warm, thinned by rain.
05:03I worked upward.
05:04The tissue soaked through fast.
05:06Then my fingers touched skin.
05:07The tissue slipped.
05:08My fingertips pressed against his arm.
05:10Bare skin hard and burning hot.
05:12Like heated stone.
05:14His wet shirt was still plastered to his shoulder.
05:17The fabric was thin.
05:18The lines of his body were very clear.
05:20My face went warm.
05:21My heart rate jumped.
05:23Not from the heat.
05:23I kept going.
05:24Across his upper arm.
05:26Down the inner side.
05:27The muscle there was sharper.
05:28A vein traced faintly beneath the surface.
05:31My fingers slipped lower.
05:32Further in.
05:33Ellie.
05:33It's dry there.
05:35I stopped.
05:36Sorry.
05:37I pulled back.
05:38He didn't respond.
05:39He released my hand and returned to the wheel.
05:41I sat back.
05:42I bawled the wet tissue in my palm.
05:44Pulp squeezed through my fingers.
05:46You're a busy man.
05:48How did you have time to come get me?
05:50Genuine curiosity.
05:51Victor Moretti.
05:52Head of New York's largest Italian crime family.
05:54My father had mentioned his name at dinner more than once.
05:57With the kind of respect men reserve for men they fear.
05:59His schedule made the mayor's look empty.
06:01He said nothing.
06:02Probably didn't feel like small talk with a girl like me.
06:05We kept driving outside.
06:06A bar glowed in the rain.
06:07Neon signs.
06:08A few people smoking by the door.
06:10I wanted a drink.
06:11I wanted to pour alcohol over tonight until it dissolved.
06:15I want a drink.
06:16No.
06:19Why?
06:20You're underage.
06:22I almost laughed.
06:23I was 20.
06:23Three days ago was my birthday.
06:25Anthony hadn't said a word.
06:26But Victor didn't know that.
06:28He probably still saw the girl with a ponytail who couldn't reach his shoulder on her tiptoes.
06:33I'm an adult.
06:3420.
06:34He looked at me.
06:35Said nothing.
06:36The look was clear.
06:37So.
06:39You're not that much older.
06:40I remember you're 12 years younger than my dad.
06:4332?
06:4433.
06:46So.
06:47Is 13 years really that much?
06:49No answer.
06:50The car turned into a darker street.
06:52I noticed his right arm was still seeping.
06:54Pale red bleeding through the tissue.
06:56You let me clean your blood but you won't let me have one drink?
06:59Not a concession.
07:00More like giving up on reasoning with a stubborn cat.
07:03One.
07:04The car stopped in front of the bar.
07:07Wait.
07:07I reached for the door.
07:08His arm crossed in front of me.
07:10His hand pressed the door shut.
07:12You're not going in wearing that.
07:13His eyes dropped briefly to my dress.
07:15Soaked nearly transparent.
07:17I crossed my arms.
07:18Then lend me a jacket.
07:20No jacket.
07:22So what do we do?
07:23Victor was quiet for two seconds.
07:25Then he unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off.
07:27One motion like tearing away something that didn't matter.
07:30I forgot to breathe.
07:31His body wasn't the kind you saw in magazines.
07:34Sculpted.
07:35Deliberate.
07:35His was built by fighting.
07:37By fists and blades.
07:38His shoulders were wide.
07:39His chest was carved like rain-worn rock.
07:42A scar ran below his collarbone.
07:44Lighter than the surrounding skin.
07:46Angling toward his shoulder.
07:47Wins still clumped him.
07:48It tracked down between his abs and disappeared into his waistline.
07:51He held the shirt out.
07:53I didn't take it.
07:53I was still looking.
07:55Ellie.
07:55My name.
07:56Lower this time.
07:57I snapped back.
07:58Grabbed the shirt and pulled it on.
07:59The fabric was enormous.
08:01It felt a mid-thigh.
08:02The collar slipped off one shoulder.
08:04It was still warm from his body.
08:06It smelled like him.
08:07Like I'd been wrapped up and taken.
08:09I pushed the door open.
08:10Cold air rushed in and swept the heat from my face.
08:13The bar door was heavy.
08:14I shoved it twice.
08:15Inside.
08:16Noise bodies pressed together.
08:17Light low enough that no one could see anyone clearly.
08:20I shouldered through the crowd.
08:21Someone bumped me.
08:23I stumbled.
08:23A hand caught my waist from behind.
08:26Victor.
08:26He'd followed me in.
08:27No shirt.
08:28In the dim light.
08:29He looked like a moving statue.
08:31A few women glanced over.
08:32Whispered.
08:33He didn't look at any of them.
08:34He bent his head toward my ear.
08:36Don't come to places like this alone.
08:38Low enough that only I could hear.
08:39His palm was still pressed against my side.
08:42Thumb just firm enough.
08:43This is the only place I can find that makes me happy.
08:45I pushed through to the bar and ordered a whiskey.
08:48The bartender glanced at Victor's shirt on me.
08:50Then at Victor behind me.
08:52And said nothing.
08:56He slid the glass over.
08:57I picked it up.
08:58My phone rang.
08:59The name on the screen, Anthony.
09:01I stared at the name for three seconds.
09:03My finger hovered over the screen.
09:04Answer or decline.
09:06Victor's eyes dropped to my phone.
09:07His expression didn't change.
09:09But the hand on my waist tightened.
09:11And his other hand lifted the phone from my fingers.
09:13He glanced at the screen.
09:15Swiped.
09:15Answer.
09:16He didn't speak.
09:17Just listened.
09:18The bar was too loud.
09:20I couldn't hear Anthony's voice.
09:22But Victor's face shifted.
09:24His lips pressed flat.
09:25A muscle ticked along his jaw.
09:27A few seconds.
09:29Then he hung up and turned the screen toward me.
09:31Text messages.
09:33A string of them from Anthony.
09:34Ella.
09:34I miss you.
09:36Vivian's not as good as you.
09:37That tight little pussy of yours.
09:39I want it again.
09:40Come over tonight.
09:42Doors unlocked.
09:43The blood drained out of me.
09:45Are you still seeing him?
09:46Victor asked.
09:47His voice was level.
09:49His knuckles were white around the phone.
09:51No.
09:51He broke up with me.
09:52He's the one who threw me out.
09:54Then why does he still have your number?
09:55Why do you still have his name seized?
09:57Each question landed like a blade.
09:59My mouth opened.
10:00Nothing came out.
10:02You broke up with him.
10:04Victor repeated.
10:05So tonight, the drink, that was about him?
10:08No.
10:08Ellie, whoever you're with, at least don't let someone humiliate you.
10:13Don't make me lose respect for you.
10:21What gives you the right?
10:23I felt like I was coming apart.
10:24What gives you the right to say anything to me?
10:26You're not Alexander.
10:27You're not my boyfriend.
10:28You're Alexander's friend.
10:30That's it.
10:30You have no standing here.
10:32I was furious.
10:33I grabbed his shirt off my shoulders.
10:35I don't need a babysitter.
10:36Then I walked out.
10:38The bar door.
10:39Cold rain on my face.
10:40Bare arms.
10:41Soaked dress.
10:42Feeling like something's doing.
10:43I didn't look back.
10:45I walked to the corner and hailed the cab.
10:47I went back to the old apartment and got my things.
10:50Our photo was still on the wall.
10:51Me and Anthony.
10:52I took it down and dropped it in the trash.
10:55Then I found a new place.
10:56Terrace, floor to ceiling windows, a pool glittering below.
11:00I called my friends.
11:01Come over.
11:01Party tonight.
11:02They came fast.
11:04By one end, the apartment was packed.
11:05Wow, it's pouring.
11:06The music was loud enough to drown out everything in my heart.
11:09I lined the bottles up on the table.
11:11Whiskey, vodka, tequila.
11:13I went to the kitchen for ice.
11:14I heard them through the door.
11:16Anthony really dumped her?
11:17Good.
11:19She was never good enough for him anyway.
11:21Her dad's rich.
11:23So what?
11:23He doesn't even look at her.
11:27The drinks are decent though.
11:29That's about all she's useful for.
11:32I stood in the kitchen doorway, ice bucket in my arms.
11:35The cubes were melting, water running down the sides.
11:38I took a slow breath, pushed the door open, smiled.
11:42Ice is here.
11:43Who needs some?
11:44Their faces flipped instantly.
11:46They crowded around, laughing.
11:49Pouring drinks.
11:51Ella, we have a surprise for you.
11:54Her smile thick as syrup.
11:55What surprise?
11:56You'll love it.
11:57The doorbell rang.
11:59Sarah ran to answer it.
12:00Anthony was in the doorway, Vivian beside him.
12:03Something punched in my stomach.
12:06Why are you here?
12:08Vivian smiled and stepped forward.
12:11To keep you company.
12:13Get out.
12:15Come on, Ella.
12:16Anthony moved toward me.
12:18Let's just talk.
12:19I don't want to see you.
12:22Vivian grabbed my wrist.
12:23Wait, Ella.
12:24Get away from me.
12:25I pulled free.
12:26She stepped back and she went down.
12:28The whiskey glass shattered.
12:29Alcohol spread across the floor.
12:31You pushed me?
12:32Vivian sat on the floor.
12:34Anthony was on me before I could speak.
12:36He grabbed my shoulders and slammed me against the wall.
12:40You fucking touch her?
12:42I didn't push her.
12:43She fell.
12:45Vivian stood up, smoothed her skirt, walked to the door, and locked it.
12:50Then she picked up a sealed bottle of vodka from the table, twisted off the cap, and walked toward me.
12:55The amber liquid poured over my head.
12:58It burned through my nose, into my mouth.
13:00I couldn't open my eyes.
13:02Alcohol soaked through my hair.
13:04They were laughing.
13:05Anthony was laughing.
13:06My tears mixed with the vodka no one saw.
13:09Outside the floor, to ceiling windows, Victor appeared.
13:13No one knew when he'd arrived.
13:15Through the glass, he saw everything.
13:17His fist closed.
13:20He pulled off his boot, wrapped it around his right hand like a crude glove.
13:24He stepped back.
13:26Swar.
13:26The glass exploded.
13:28He walked through the broken floor.
13:30Straightforwardly.
13:32The room froze.
13:33Music still playing.
13:34Nobody breathed.
13:35Vivian's hand was still raised.
13:37A drop ran down from the neck.
13:39She looked at Victor, and her triumph curdled into something else.
13:43Victor stopped in front of me.
13:46He raised one hand and wiped the vodka from my face.
13:49Are you hurt?
13:50I shook my head.
13:51The alcohol in my eyes was burning.
13:53Victor turned to face Vivian.
13:54He had a head on her.
13:56He was still wet.
13:57Rain and blood not quite dry.
13:59Vivian's hand started to shake.
14:01The bottle slipped and rolled across the carpet.
14:04What's your name?
14:05Victor asked.
14:06Quiet.
14:07Vivian's lips moved.
14:09Nothing came out.
14:10I asked your name.
14:14Vivian.
14:15Vivian.
14:16He repeated it, then reached for the sealed whiskey bottle on the table.
14:21Twisted it open.
14:24You like pouring drinks on people?
14:26He didn't wait for an answer.
14:27He appended it over her head.
14:28She choked and gasped.
14:30Liquor ran down her jaw and into her collar.
14:33No!
14:34She shrieked.
14:36Do that again and see what happens.
14:39She went silent.
14:40Her makeup was ruined.
14:41Black liner streaming down both cheeks like two trails of ink.
14:44Anthony lunged forward.
14:47What the f***?
14:48Victor pulled the gun from his waist and pressed the muzzle to Anthony's forehead.
14:52Anthony stopped cold.
14:53All the color left his face.
14:58Which hand did you use on Ella?
15:00Anthony couldn't speak.
15:02I didn't...
15:04Victor lowered the gun.
15:06Get out.
15:07They scrambled for the door.
15:09One of Vivian's heels fell off.
15:10She didn't dare stop to pick it up.
15:12The door closed.
15:13The apartment went still.
15:15Just the music was still looping.
15:17I walked over and turned it off.
15:20I looked at Victor.
15:21Why did you come?
15:22I asked.
15:23He didn't answer.
15:24Why do you keep involving yourself?
15:27Why did you break the window?
15:29Why did you put a gun to Anthony's head?
15:31Do you know how much trouble that's going to cause?
15:38Ellie.
15:38Don't call me that.
15:40I snapped.
15:41I'm not Ellie.
15:42I'm Ella Whitley.
15:43I don't need your protection.
15:46I don't need you embarrassing me in front of people.
15:49Showing up at every humiliating moment like some kind of guardian.
15:53Victor watched me.
15:54Said nothing.
15:55The tears finally came.
15:57Do you know what they're going to say?
15:59They'll say Ella got rescued by some older man.
16:03Ella can't take care of herself.
16:04Ella's useless.
16:06Are you done?
16:07No!
16:08I was almost shouting.
16:09Do you know why I threw this party tonight?
16:12Because I wanted to pretend I was starting over.
16:15Pretend Anthony hadn't thrown me out.
16:18I stopped.
16:20Because Victor, walking toward me.
16:22He stepped on the glass on the ground, walking toward me.
16:27I stepped back until I hit the wall.
16:30He put one hand against the wall beside my head and looked down at me.
16:35But Ellie, they're not your friends.
16:37The air left my lungs.
16:38His face was close.
16:39His eyes were deep blue.
16:40The dim living room light reflected inside them.
16:43And my face.
16:44I didn't argue.
16:44Because in that moment, with his lips inches from mine, I didn't want to argue about anything.
16:49I rose onto my toes and kissed him.
16:52His lips were cool, tasted like rain.
16:54Then I reached for his belt.
16:57His hand closed around my wrist.
16:59Stopped me.
17:01What are you doing?
17:03Proving something.
17:05That I'm not a little girl.
17:07Victor frowned.
17:07Then he bent down.
17:09One arm under my knees.
17:10One at my back.
17:11And lifted me off the floor.
17:13I grabbed his neck without thinking.
17:15His skin was burning.
17:16My chest pressed against his and I could feel his heartbeat.
17:19Fast, not as controlled as his face suggested.
17:22He carried me through the living room into the bedroom and set me down on the bed.
17:26The sheets were cool.
17:27I flinched when my back hit them.
17:28He straightened up.
17:29I thought he was going to undo his belt.
17:31He pulled the blanket over me instead.
17:33Tucked it to my chin.
17:34Sleep.
17:35What?
17:36It's 2 a.m.
17:37Time to sleep.
17:38I stared at him.
17:39He walked out as if he felt nothing.
17:41I don't know when I fell asleep.
17:42In the morning, the apartment was quiet.
17:44Victor was probably gone.
17:46I washed up, started on breakfast.
17:48And found a gun on the nightstand.
17:50Cold metal.
17:51Letters carved into the grip.
17:52I couldn't read.
17:53I turned it over.
17:54Fingers brushing the trigger guard.
17:57Don't touch that.
17:57Victor stood in the bedroom doorway.
18:00Hair wet.
18:01Water still tracking down his neck.
18:03Just out of the shower.
18:04No shirt.
18:05Clean lines of muscle.
18:06A towel at his waist.
18:08He crossed the room and took the gun from my hands.
18:16Children shouldn't play with these.
18:18I'm not a child.
18:19Then what were you just doing?
18:20Pointing the barrel at your own face?
18:22He put the gun up high on the nightstand.
18:24Out of my reach.
18:25And turned to go.
18:27What are you afraid of?
18:28Afraid I'll hurt myself?
18:29Or afraid I'll hurt you?
18:31Maybe I'll do it anyway.
18:32Victor turned around and looked at me.
18:34His expression didn't change.
18:36But something in his eyes went dark.
18:38He walked to the nightstand.
18:39Opened the drawer.
18:40And pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
18:42The metal clicked clean and sharp.
18:44He grabbed my wrist.
18:45And before I could pull back.
18:47The clip snapped shut.
18:48My wrist to the iron bed frame.
18:52What are you doing?
18:54I leaned against it.
18:55The metal bits.
18:55Keeping you still.
18:56He picked up the gun and left.
18:58Victor!
18:59He didn't answer.
19:00I sat on the bed.
19:01Arm pulled awkward and hot.
19:02About five minutes later he came back.
19:05Tray in hand.
19:06Toast.
19:07Fried egg.
19:08Hot milk.
19:09Unlock me.
19:10I said.
19:11Say please?
19:12Please unlock me.
19:14Look at me when you say it.
19:15I drew a breath.
19:16Raised my eyes to his.
19:18Please unlock me.
19:19He came over.
19:20Bent down.
19:21Fingers at the lock.
19:22His face was close.
19:24Close enough that I could see the water still clinging to his lashes.
19:27Anything else?
19:29What?
19:29You forgot to say sir.
19:32I bit my lip.
19:33You.
19:34What about me?
19:35You old man.
19:37I said.
19:38Victor's hand paused.
19:40Then he did something I didn't expect.
19:42He took my chin between his fingers.
19:44Pressed his thumb against my lips and pushed down.
19:47Gently.
19:47Not hard.
19:48Just enough to shut me up.
19:50Say that again.
19:51I didn't.
19:52Not because I was scared.
19:53Because his thumb was still on my mouth.
19:56And I'd completely lost track of my breathing.
19:58He leaned in closer.
20:00My back pressed flat against the sheets.
20:02The cuff pulled tight.
20:03A thin sound of metal.
20:05Was he going to kiss me?
20:06Right here.
20:07Like this.
20:07I closed my eyes.
20:09Click.
20:09The cuff fell open.
20:10I opened my eyes.
20:11Victor had already straightened up.
20:13He slid the handcuffs back into the drawer.
20:15Get to school.
20:16You have class this afternoon.
20:18I rubbed my reddened wrist.
20:19My heart was still knocking around.
20:21I'm not going.
20:22What?
20:23I said I'm not going.
20:24I looked up at him.
20:26I do what I want.
20:27Victor studied me for two seconds.
20:29Of course.
20:30You can do whatever you want.
20:31I thought he was giving in.
20:33But you have a curfew.
20:34Home by ten.
20:35You have absolutely no right.
20:37His phone rang.
20:38Victor glanced at the screen and walked to the window to answer.
20:42Alexander.
20:42I heard the name.
20:43I sat up in bed and listened.
20:45His back was to me.
20:46His voice was low.
20:47The room was too quiet.
20:48I still caught pieces.
20:50She's fine.
20:51With me.
20:52Safe.
20:53Of course.
20:53I promise.
20:54He hung up and turned to me.
20:55Your dad asked if you've eaten.
20:57That's it?
20:58He didn't answer.
21:00He set the phone down.
21:01A flash crossed his mind.
21:03My lips.
21:04He frowned.
21:05Like he wanted it gone.
21:06I'm going back to school.
21:07I jumped off the bed and put on my shoes.
21:10That night.
21:10I didn't go home.
21:11To be exact.
21:12I did.
21:13Then I left again.
21:14Victor wasn't there.
21:15Busy.
21:15Probably.
21:16I changed into a black dress.
21:18Low neckline.
21:19Makeup.
21:19Hair down.
21:20The club was called Heaven.
21:22The music shook before.
21:23Red light.
21:24Smoke and perfume everywhere.
21:26I stepped onto the stage.
21:27The pole was cold.
21:28My palms were sweating.
21:30My friend Leah firmed me from the room.
21:32Laughing hard.
21:33Ayla.
21:33Move.
21:34I grabbed the pole and saw him.
21:36My skirt lifted.
21:38Whistles rose from the front.
21:40Then the lights changed.
21:41Not the DJ.
21:42Someone put the name on fire.
21:44The music stopped.
21:45All clear.
21:46The tall figure walked in.
21:48Security tried to stop him.
21:49He shoved himself.
21:51Just a mood from the crowd toward the stage.
21:55Black and cold.
21:56No excursion.
21:57But everything about him said one thing.
21:59He was angry.
