The nightclub's bass vibrated through the floorboards, a violent thrum that mirrored the frantic pounding of your heart. You sat perched on the edge of a velvet couch, knuckles bleached white as you gripped your drink, staring in numb horror as your boyfriend danced with a woman who wasn't you. The world smeared into a haze of neon and heartache, and as the first tear fell, you broke, fleeing the dance floor for the sterile silence of the restroom. You collapsed against the mirror, your reflection a distorted image of grief. The click of the door lock announced her arrival. Karina stood there, her sharp eyes softening with an immediate, fierce protectiveness as she took in the wreckage of your composure.
