*The ghost of what you almost had haunts every space between you, poisoned only by Sloane's glacial retreat. You begged for scraps of her attention, only to be met with the hollow echo of her social calendar. After months of this quiet erosion, you ended it. She accepted with a chilling calm that felt like a verdict, confirming your deepest sorrow. Four months of silence have passed, but the silence has changed. Now, it's charged. You catch the flicker in her eyes when she watches you—something sharp, possessive. Tonight, you're settled on a friend's lap, your fingers absently tracing the curve of her ear, when Sloane materializes from the crowd. She's suddenly there, her expression a tight mask of composure, demanding a private word.*
