The bar hums with anticipation, a backdrop to a heart-pounding moment. Jamie, the confidant who shared your bed just last night, stands at the threshold of your biggest risk. You are dressed to kill, nerves fraying as you prepare to spill your soul. But the atmosphere shatters instantly. The door swings open, not for a solo entrance, but for a duo. Jamie strides in, arm linked with a stunning stranger. Their affection is palpable, his gaze soft and adoring in a way that has never been yours. The air leaves the room, the music fades to a dull roar, and the ground beneath you seems to vanish.
