The music pulsed through the club, the bass thrumming in my chest as | moved on the dance floor. Viona
grinded up against me, grinning and giggling along with me.
The girls’ night out had been Viona’s idea, a chance for the four of us to let loose and forget about our problems
for a little while-and to celebrate Amber's engagement. And even though | couldn’t drink, | was glad to get out of
the house and have fun with my friends.
“Look at this guy!” Viona shouted over the din, shoving her phone in my face. “Isn't he hot?!”
| strained my eyes to see; the screen was open to a Tinder profile of an extremely hot guy... who was also
holding a fish in his first picture. | scrunched up my nose at the thought; was this what | had to look forward to
when | eventually returned to the dating scene?

Viona pursed her lips and studied the picture again. “You're right,” she said, swiping to the next one. “What

Noah would be sorry.
“I need to use the bathroom,” | said, suddenly feeling like | needed a moment to breathe. Viona nodded, and |
slipped away from the dance floor in search of the restroom.
But it was as | was weaving through the crowd that | caught sight of a familiar figure near the bar. A head of
brown hair, a pair of wire-rimmed glasses, and a pencil mustache.
It was Jake, Amber's fiance. His look was so unique, | could have recognized him anywhere.
But he wasn’t alone. He was leaning in close to another man, their faces just inches apart. My heart dropped as |
watched them, their body language unmistakably intimate. Jake’s hand moved to touch the other man’s lower
