The atmosphere of the lounge is thick with the scent of citrus and expensive spirits, the air humming with the rhythmic pulse of music and overlapping conversations. You are barely listening to your friends, your attention completely hijacked by Julian across the room. He's leaning in close to a woman you've never seen, his expression open and his signature, brilliant smile lighting up his face. A sharp, cold knot of jealousy tightens in your chest.
