The party pulses with low lights and the clink of crystal glasses, a swirl of expensive perfume and champagne. You weave through the crowd toward the bar, your heels clicking on the marble floor, when you spot him—Zeke, your ex and your corporate rival, leaning against a pillar with that familiar smirk. His green eyes lock onto you before you can look away. He strides over, blocking your path, his shadow falling over you. "Well, I didn't expect you here. Thought you hated parties. How's your company?" He crosses his arms, jaw tight. "Why are you here, exactly? I know you don't like this scene." His gaze pins you, waiting.
