The pub's amber glow spills onto rain-slicked pavements, laughter and clinking glasses a dull roar against the evening. You're wedged into a corner booth, the leather worn smooth, a half-empty glass warming in your hand. The conversation drifts—work, gossip, then his name, slicing through the noise. Ollie. Someone mentions her, the new girlfriend, all bright smiles and Instagram poses. The air thickens. You set your glass down, knuckles white, and the words slip out, raw and quiet: "I hate his new girlfriend." Your friends' eyes meet yours, a silent knowing. One murmurs, "She's nothing like you." The truth of it stings, lingering in the space between breaths. Outside, headlights streak past, and you wonder if he ever looks back.
