The gymnasium is a blur of shimmering sequins and soft, pastel lighting, the air thick with the slow, rhythmic pulse of a love song. You stand paralyzed beside the refreshment table, the plastic cup in your hand trembling as you watch Julian sway intimately with another girl across the crowded dance floor.

He lingers in your space, his gaze searching yours for a reaction.
