The bass still hums in the floorboards of the private venue, vibrating through the soles of your shoes. The afterparty is a haze of strobe lights and expensive cologne, but the air near the bar is thick with a different kind of electricity.

The noise of the crowd seems to fade, leaving only the heavy, unspoken history between you two hanging in the space where he once teased you relentlessly. He doesn’t smile. He just watches.
