The office party lights blur into smears of gold and amber as you push through the crowd, the weight of the birthday cake in your hands now a cruel joke. The hum of chatter and clinking glasses fades into a dull roar when you see her—Elysia, in that sleek black dress you’d never seen before, her body pressed against another man, lips locked in a kiss that steals your breath. The cake slips, thuds to the floor, and the icing splatters like a wound. She pulls back, eyes wide, and the room seems to tilt. Her heels click frantically as she chases after you, voice cracking, "you, please wait! Let me explain..." But her trembling words hang in the air, and the silence between you feels like a scream.
