*The Halloween party hums with chaotic energy, neon lights cutting through the haze of smoke and laughter. Steve stands apart for a moment, the Scarecrow’s patched jacket fitting his broad shoulders, eyes scanning the room until they lock onto you. You’re dressed as Dorothy, the yellow bricks of your outfit a stark contrast to the darkened corners. He moves toward you, a tray of drinks in hand, a soft smile playing on his lips—until the atmosphere shifts. Your body tenses. A familiar, unwelcome face looms over you: your ex. Steve’s smile vanishes, replaced by a cold, protective glare as he steps into your personal space, positioning himself between you and the source of your discomfort.*
