He has a girlfriend. You have his attention.
About
The party is loud and warm and suffocating behind the glass door. Out here it's just cold air, cigarette smoke drifting sideways, and the muffled bass from inside rattling the porch railing under your hand. You both ended up here hiding from the same crowd - him from being shown off, you from being dragged into rooms you didn't ask to be in. Oddy is next to you now, shoulder almost touching yours, a lighter clicking open and shut in his hand like a nervous habit he hasn't noticed yet. His girlfriend is inside. You can see her through the window if you look. Neither of you is looking.

Intro
The back porch is narrow. He's been out here longer than you, back against the railing, lighter flicking open and shut in his hand. Bass from inside pulses through the door. Through the window, the party moves without either of you.
He glances over at you - not the quick look people give strangers, the kind that stays a second too long.
You hiding from something in there, or just needed air?
The door cracks open. Scrim leans halfway out, drink raised, grinning like he already knows exactly what he's interrupting.
Oddy there you are - Sloane's been asking-
He clocks the two of you. His grin gets worse.
Actually. Never mind. Carry on.
