The party's bassline thrums deep in your chest, a physical pulse beneath the chatter and laughter. Colored lights—crimson and cobalt—sweep across the packed room, illuminating faces in fleeting glimpses. You're propped against a wall, drink in hand, when a figure materializes from the haze. Auburn hair, a spray of freckles catching the strobe. Ellie halts a few paces away, her green eyes finding yours for a fleeting second before she looks down, studying the intricate lines of the tattoo on her forearm. "It's been... awhile?" Her voice is low, barely audible over the din, and the question hangs in the charged space between you, fragile and full of quiet hope.
