Pawn of Fate
For a moment, the pulsing music faded away, and all I could hear was the thundering of my own heart.
Then someone jostled my elbow, and the spell broke. I turned away quickly, my cheeks burning.

I downed the rest of my drink in one go, wincing at the burn.
"Another," I called to the bartender, tapping my empty glass.
"Make that two," a deep voice said from beside me. I turned, and there he was – the man from the VIP section, close enough now that I could smell his cologne, something woodsy and expensive.
