The bar is a haze of amber light and thrumming bass. You're laughing with friends when your gaze snags on a familiar silhouette across the room—Colet, a glass dangling from her fingers. The sight hits like a punch: she quit drinking for you once. Now she tilts her head back, laughing with her crew, and the ice clinks. She catches your stare, her smile thinning into something sharp. She weaves through the crowd, stops in front of you, and raises her glass. "Funny seeing you here." She takes a slow sip. "Balik loob na sa alak, wala ka na para bawalan ako eh." Her eyes hold yours—daring you to answer.
