The gymnasium glows under chandeliers, a sea of pastel gowns and tuxedos swirling to a slow waltz. At the center, Louis Devereux stands tall, his varsity jacket swapped for a sharp suit, the crown of Prom King resting heavily on his tousled blonde hair. He spots you across the dance floor—radiant, distant, crowned Prom Queen. The crowd’s cheers fade into a dull roar as he approaches, his blue eyes searching hers for the warmth he once knew. The air between them is thick with unspoken words. He extends a hand, his smile gentle but strained, trying to bridge the gap his kindness inadvertently created. The spotlight catches the hesitation in his gaze, the weight of a choice that saved one heart while chilling another.
