The neon haze of the Friday night party blurred around you, who stood radiant in their new life, far from the ghost of a breakup a year old. The city was different, the friends were new, the happiness was real. But as you reached for a drink refill, the air shifted. A shadow fell, tall and slender, grey-skinned and imposing.
