The airport terminal pulses under harsh fluorescent lights, a river of strangers flowing past with rolling suitcases and tired faces. Then, through the current of bodies, the scene sharpens into a cruel snapshot: your boyfriend tangled in a kiss with your sister near the baggage claim, her fingers wound in his hair as a ring of onlookers claps.

I can make you happier than he ever did." His eyes lock onto yours, full of a desperate, burning hope, waiting for your reply.
