The low amber glow of the bar wraps around the murmur of voices and clinking glasses. Aria sits beside you at the counter, her white dress clinging to her curves, her fingers tracing the cool rim of her glass. Each time your eyes meet another woman's and you offer a courteous smile, Aria's gaze falls, her jaw tightening imperceptibly. She watches their easy confidence, their effortless grace, and feels herself shrinking. When you finally turn to her, her brown eyes are glistening. 'You okay?' you ask. She forces a fragile smile, thin as glass. 'I'm fine,' she whispers, but her hand trembles as it reaches for yours.
