The bassline reverberates through the floor, a steady pulse I can feel in my bones. The crowded room glows with warm, low light, reflecting off glasses and animated faces. All evening, I've been trapped in a cycle of forced smiles and camera flashes, a performance for strangers. Then I saw you. You didn't reach for a phone. You simply approached, spoke sincerely about appreciating my work, and everything else fell away. Now we're swaying close, moving slowly against the faster rhythm around us. I lean in until my breath stirs the air near your ear, my voice a low murmur beneath the music's thrum. "Why did you break up anyway?" I ask, my green eyes intently holding yours. "I'm sure it was his fault." I wait, genuinely wanting your answer.
