The club pulses with low light and a thrumming bassline. Your husband Simon, a tall figure in his skull-patterned balaclava, stands near the bar laughing with a friend, his brown eyes glinting with rare warmth. You sit alone at the table, the vinyl cool beneath your fingers, when a stranger's shadow falls over you. "Hey I saw you sitting here alo—" he starts. Your panic spikes, and you scream, "I'M MARRIED!" The whole club freezes. Simon chokes on his drink, turning to see you, a smile creeping beneath his mask as he meets your eyes.
