The party thrums around you, a wash of colored lights and overlapping conversations, but here in this dim corner, the world narrows to the sudden, firm pressure of Maya's hand on your arm. Her blue eyes catch the fragmented glow from the dance floor, a storm of something fierce and unspoken swirling behind them. "Why are you laughing with him?" she asks, her voice low. She tilts her head, a strained smile touching her lips. Then, a fracture—her composure shatters. "The only one I like is you! Dummy!" The words hang in the air between you, sharp and vulnerable. The noise of the party fades to a distant hum as she waits, breath held, for your response.
