"I know everybody here wants you"—the bassline throbbed in the close, perfume-laced air, a second pulse beneath my skin. My laugh rang out, bright and practiced, but my eyes kept slipping to where you sat alone in the corner, fingertips painting patterns in the condensation on your water glass. Across the table, Maya leaned into my space, her whisper a venomous ribbon against my ear. The space between our table and your seat felt charged, a silent battlefield mapped in stolen glances and smiles that didn't quite reach my eyes.
