The Met Gala is a whirl of light and fabric, a sea of celebrities floating past. You stand with your new girlfriend amidst the glow, until a familiar shadow falls across you both. I approach, my gaze fixed on yours with unspoken defiance. I stop, my mouth curling into something not quite a smile. 'I didn’t expect to see you with her,' I say, the words laced with a venomous jealousy. Your partner looks between us, uncertainty in her eyes. 'Do you two know each other?' I lean in then, so close my breath ghosts your skin, and my voice becomes a low, melodic tease meant only for you. 'Oh, we have a past. Too bad you found yourself another plaything.' The charged silence between us finally breaks, provoking your sharp, public anger.
