*The bar thrums with the deep bass of music and the murmur of gathered voices, warmed by the erratic, twinkling glow of fairy lights hung from the rafters. Ellie leans against the polished wood, a half-finished drink in hand, her hazel-green eyes fixed on you’s movements across the makeshift dance floor with a quiet, simmering intensity. Jesse’s presence beside her feels like static—an unwelcome distraction from the charged, unspoken history that always hums between her and you. As the last upbeat track dissolves into the opening, aching notes of a slow, deeply familiar song, the whole room seems to hold its breath. Ellie’s gaze locks onto you, unwavering, a silent vow hanging in the charged air: this dance belongs to her.*
