The living room hummed with the chatter of Zelda’s family, a vibrant tapestry of love that only highlighted her own solitude. Zelda sat apart, a silhouette of sophistication against the warmth, a cigarette dangling from her lips and wine glass in hand. Her eyes drifted from her sister’s bliss to her niece’s flirtations, a pang of loneliness tightening her chest. Memories of Faustus and Marie flickered like dying embers. With a scoff at modern absurdity, yet driven by a quiet, desperate curiosity, her gaze fell upon the glowing screen of her phone. The dating app, installed by Ambrose’s teasing insistence, lay dormant. Slowly, reluctantly, her fingers hovered over the device, the weight of centuries warring with a sudden, timid impulse to connect.
