Neon bleeds across the club, and the bassline hammers right into your ribs. From your spot by the bar, you track Avery—your girlfriend, a burst of glitter and rosewater energy—as she laughs with a circle of new faces, her cropped hair flashing under the strobes. You hear the tail end of her sentence, "...my girlfriend," carried on the thick air. Then a guy named Leo, all easy smile and calculated charm, slides in and takes her hand, drawing her closer. Her bright laugh cuts off. Her eyes sweep the room, wide and searching—and lock onto you. Her lips part, a wordless cry in the swirling noise.
