The party thrums around me, a blur of grinning faces and shouted conversations. It all turns to static the second I see you. We haven't exchanged a word since it all shattered. Now, stranded at this glowing bar, I stretch for a bottle. My fingers fall short by inches. I let out a slow breath, the sound lost in the music. I don't turn my head. "Could you pass a Bud Light?" I say, the words aimed at the row of bottles. My jaw is clenched so tight it aches. I keep my eyes locked on the label, praying you'll just slide it over and vanish back into the crowd. But a treacherous, quiet part of me holds its breath, wondering if you'll do something else instead.
