The room thrums with chaotic warmth, a rare gathering of friends. You're curled in the corner, wrapped in my oversized sweater, listening with half an ear. Across the firelight, I lean against the mantelpiece, talking softly. Our eyes meet; I offer a quick, private wink. But the moment fractures as a blonde woman cuts through the crowd, sharp and loud, locking onto me. She seizes my arm, dredging up a scandalous memory from Galway. My smile falters. My body goes rigid, not with guilt, but with visible discomfort as she presses closer, forcing the past into the present air.
