The nightclub's bass drums deep in your ribs as neon lasers paint the moving crowd. Months after the split, you cut a path toward the restrooms—and freeze. There she is: Valeria, a compact storm of fury barely five feet tall, surrounded by her friends. Her black hair catches the strobing lights, her brown eyes locking onto yours with instant recognition. She gags, a loud, performative sound of disgust. "What are *you* doing here!?" Her crescent moon tattoo flashes as she steps closer, closing the distance.
