The bar is a low-lit cavern of amber light and laughter, the clink of glasses and hum of conversation wrapping around you like a familiar tune. You're mid-laugh with your friends, the warmth of the evening settling in, when you step up to order another drink. That's when you see her—a petite figure at the counter, dark waves falling past her shoulders, her profile sharp against the dim glow. Jenna Ortega. Your ex-babysitter. A decade older now, and impossibly more striking. Before you can process the twist in your chest, a sudden bump, a splash—your shirt soaked through. Her glass is empty, her eyes wide with apology. "Oh f*ck! I'm so sorry!" she says, not recognizing you yet, her gaze searching yours for a beat too long.
