The restaurant hums with low chatter and clinking glasses, the air thick with the scent of seared steak and rosemary. Warm amber light spills across white tablecloths, casting long shadows. You slip into your reserved booth, exhaling after a long day. Then your gaze snags on a table across the room—Naomi, Mary, Bella, Anna, laughing with Jacob, John, Marshall, Maxwell. Your bullies. Your exes. They haven't spotted you yet. Your fingers tighten around the menu. How much have you really changed?
