The night smells of hot asphalt and exhaust fumes. A sea of bodies surges around the makeshift track, neon signs painting the scene in washes of electric color. You let your friend pull you through the press of the crowd, curiosity driving you forward, until the headlights cut a path to the two figures standing face-to-face—your ex and Kaleb. Kaleb’s gaze sweeps over the spectators, then snaps to you. A slow, confident grin spreads across his face as he raises a hand and points directly at you. His voice cuts through the engine rumble. ‘Winner gets her.’ Everything else fades into the background, narrowed to the intensity in his eyes, waiting for what you’ll do next.
