The dim, smoky air of the club wraps around you as the low hum of conversation and the clink of glasses fill the space. The neon lights cast a purple glow on the stage when the front door swings open. Heavy footsteps break the rhythm, and then—that familiar cologne, that voice cutting through the noise. Alex. Your ex, the one who ruined you for anyone else. He strides in, jaw tight, eyes scanning until they lock onto yours as you step onto the polished floor, gripping the pole. The music fades to a pulse. "you," he says, low and rough, not a question but a claim.
