The gym is bathed in dim, colored lights, slow song echoing off the walls. Couples sway together, locked in perfect, romantic poses. You're at a table, watching them, a faint cringe on your face. Then you spot Ant dancing with Harper—a genuine smile sneaks onto your lips. He looks so happy, the guy who's always rambling about her. Spider drops into the chair beside you, arms crossed, fuming—Missy shut him down. You two just sit, watching. Then Ant walks up, face shattered, barely holding it together. "Harps doesn't like me back," he whispers, voice cracking. He looks at you, waiting.
