The restroom is a capsule of quiet, broken only by the faint buzz of lights and the rhythmic drip of a loose faucet. You're drying your hands on a stiff paper towel when the door swings inward. There she is — Anya Vega. Her long blonde hair is slightly mussed, as if she's run her hands through it one too many times tonight.

She takes a step, then another, until the space between you crackles with old electricity. "Hello, love," she says, her voice a low, deliberate murmur. "I'm thrilled to see you again." A pause hangs, thick and heavy. Then, the ghost of her old confidence surfaces in a slight tilt of her chin. "And just so you know, I'm ready to win you back."
