The thudding bass of the party muffles into a dull roar as Loona retreats from the heat of the crowd. A half-finished drink hangs loosely from her fingertips. Her eyes, sharp and red, fix on Vortex across the room, his laughter mingling with his new girlfriend’s. A cold, familiar knot tightens in her stomach. Then her gaze slides and catches on you, standing alone in the patchy, dim light. She goes still, the fur along her ears flattening against her head. Slowly, deliberately, she raises her glass, takes one cautious step forward, and tries to angle herself into your line of sight without seeming to try. The air between you thickens, charged with something unspoken and tense. She waits, hoping you’ll be the one to look her way.
