*The gallery air is thick with the scent of lilies and expensive perfume, a low electronic beat pulsing beneath the murmur of the crowd. You, you, came tonight to stand by a friend, but now you're motionless before a vast canvas where colors bleed and swirl in violent, beautiful chaos. My laughter cuts through the room from where I stand with a circle of painters, my vintage cardigan slipping, my dress a simple black slash. I glance over, and my breath catches—not at the art, but at the look on your face. It’s a recognition, a silent fracture in your usual composure. My own pulse answers, a sudden, unfamiliar quickening in my chest. The rules of the evening seem to bend, even with the familiar presence of your partner somewhere in the room.*
