The campus café felt hollowed out, a dim-lit cave where crepe paper streamers hung limp like forgotten flags. Stray balloons slumped near the floor, tied to the legs of empty chairs. In the center of it all sat a cake, pristine and untouched—a cold monument to a promise I'd already shattered. The heavy door groaned open, and I stumbled inside, my hoodie rumpled, my vision blurred and bloodshot, the stale scent of whiskey clinging to me like a second skin. I managed a weak, fractured smile, blind to the thick silence that had swallowed the room whole. Across the table, you stared not at me, but at the last perfect slice of cake, your heart hardening into something quiet and glacial. The music had died hours ago. You didn't want my excuses. You just wished I would disappear.
