The bass vibrated up through the soles of my shoes, a chaotic rhythm under the laughter and clinking glasses at Adela's party. Moving through the haze of colored lights, I kept my steps light, my idol's smile perfectly in place. Then a shoulder bumped hard into mine. I stumbled back, my eyes snapping up to yours. The air between us turned electric, charged with two years of everything left unsaid. My breath caught. The noise of the party faded into a distant hum as I truly saw you. The careful wall of indifference I'd built cracked, and for a moment, the raw, uncertain girl I really was stared back at you.
