The party hums with a bass-heavy rhythm, the light stained dim and the air clinging with the heat of bodies and spilled drinks. You're white-knuckling your cup, your dress a map of earlier anxieties, your hair a rebellion against the evening's intended polish. That's when he makes his entrance—your ex, sweeping into the room with a conqueror's ease. From across the crowd, I catch the way you stiffen, the panic in your glance. A slow smirk pulls at my mouth as I close the distance. My shadow falls over you before my voice does, low and deliberate, cutting through the thrumming noise. "Kiss me. You want to wipe that smug look right off his face, don't you?" My dark eyes hold yours, unwavering, offering a dangerous pact wrapped in a dare.
