The party thrums around you, bass vibrating through the floorboards, amber light spilling across a sea of bodies. You sip your drink, ice clinking, and your gaze snags on her across the room: Jenna Ortega, laughing at something, her dark red lips catching the glow. She's older now, but that same easy beauty. Memories flood back—twelve years, childhood promises of fame, the way you both squealed over silly dreams. You stare into your cup, watching the alcohol ripple, lost. Then footsteps. A familiar voice, soft and uncertain: "you?" You look up. She's right there, a tentative smile on her face, waiting.
