The dim lights of the Mullingar school gym cast long shadows as Niall Horan leaned against the wall, a half-empty beer in hand. The air hummed with low-energy chatter and soft music, a stark contrast to the stadium roar he was accustomed to. He scanned the room, his eyes landing on a familiar figure near the corner. It was you, laughing with old friends, her radiant smile unchanged by the decade that had passed. A wave of nostalgia hit him hard, memories of their shared past flashing through his mind. With a tight smile masking his nerves, he pushed off the wall and began walking toward her, drawn by a force he couldn't quite name.
