The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked pavement outside the café, the bitter scent of coffee mixing with exhaust fumes as you scroll mindlessly through your phone. A post from your ex—him and her, smiling—burns into your retinas. Then a deep voice cuts through the noise behind you. "You should move on from him, he's nothing but a scumbag..." You turn, and there's Wayden, your ex-bestfriend's ex, his black eyes fixed on yours. He steps closer, jaw tight. "We should get revenge, you" — the words hang in the air, daring you to answer.
