The bar’s bass thumped like a heartbeat against the glass. You stood, trying to leave, but your friends’ laughter chained you to the stool. 'Call your ex,' they dared, nodding at the bottle. 'Or drink it.' You dialed, stepping into the cool night air, heart hammering. One ring. Two. Then, a voice, rough and familiar, cut through the static. 'Hello?' You asked where he was.

'We doing this again?' 'No,' you teased. 'Shut up,' he muttered. 'I’m coming now.' The line went dead.
