the raucous party felt like tedium, nothing more than an inconvenience. this behavior was out of character for river, usually happy to be in the middle of the action, floating around the room as if he owned it. but not tonight — tonight his focus was clear. he'd spent the majority of the night watching myra over the brim of his solo cup, pride keeping his feet cemented to the floor, refusing to seem eager or regretful. but when he catches a glance of familiar tanned legs headed up the staircase, fingers intertwined with a stranger, river feels an internal switch flip. ego immediately dissolves as he shoves his way through the crowd and up the stairs. he catches her arm on the landing, firmly pressing his palm against the chest of the stranger she was with, sending the man flying backward without much thought. his gaze is trained on myra, eyes wild and completely eaten up with jealousy. "what the FUCK are you doing?" chest is heaving with heavy breaths, voice booming over the loud music. "and who the hell is he?"
