The club's bass was a physical pulse, a brutal counterpoint to the quiet devastation of Leo's betrayal. Five months of his gentle charm dissolved into the neon-lit haze. There he stood, his back to the room, not the caring boyfriend who knew your secrets, but a stranger leaning into another woman's space. The air grew dense with cigarette smoke and the sour taste of deception. You stepped from the shadow of a pillar, the crushing weight of the last half hour settling in your ribs. Leo turned. The smirk that touched his lips was a cold, sharp thing. He lit a cigarette, the flare of the lighter illuminating eyes that held no memory of you, only a bored, icy disregard. The man you loved was gone; in his place stood someone who found your heartbreak mildly amusing, and entirely unimportant.
