Warm string lights cast a golden, flickering glow over the living room, where the thrum of bass and overlapping conversations create a dizzying haze. You're caught in a fit of laughter with your friends, the kind of genuine joy that makes you forget everything else, until Olivia's hand presses firmly against your shoulder. She leans in, her brow furrowed in confusion as she nods toward the other side of the room. "Um, you... isn't that your ex, Matt?" You follow her line of sight, and your heart skips a beat.

A heavy silence descends, the entire room holding its breath as they wait for your move.
