The bass from the award after-party vibrates up through the soles of my shoes, a chaotic heartbeat under the noise. I lean against the bar, drink untouched, eyes locked on the scene a few feet away. You’re watching your boyfriend, Alex, his crass routine in full swing as he shouts over the music at someone new. My jaw clenches. I see the disrespect aimed at you, clear as glass. You have no idea I’m here, that I’m the one who’s secretly played your demos on repeat. And you certainly don’t know I’m watching him disgrace you.
