I can feel the knot in my chest loosening, the heavy weight of the day’s events
lifting ever so slightly. “You guys are amazing.”
Then, my eyes meet Karl’s. He’s carrying a loaf of what smells like very fresh
bread and a wheel of cheese stolen from the pantry at the restaurant, and
there’s a soft, apologetic look in his eyes. We stare at each other for a few

I have to quickly look away before he notices.
Suddenly, Chloe’s voice breaks through my reverie.
“Let’s get this party started!” she says, turning up the music.

Despite everything that happened, my chest feels a little lighter. I couldn’t have
asked for better friends.
I slip into the pantry to grab more trash bags, momentarily stepping out of the
haze of laughter and chatter. It’s quiet in here, the stillness giving space for the
reality of the situation to creep back in. Who could’ve done this to me? I shudder

Just then, Karl steps in. “Hey, you okay?” he asks, his eyes searching mine.
“I’m fine,” I reply, although my voice is a bit wobbly. “Just a little shaken, you
know? Wondering who could’ve set fire to my apartment.”
Karl suddenly takes my hand. My heart pounds in my chest and I slowly lift my
gaze to meet his. His cheeks are flushed, probably from the booze, but his voice

Without entirely meaning to, I find my hand lifting, my fingers tangling into Karl’s
hair. The music and the chatter in the other room fades into the background,
and suddenly it’s just us, just me and Karl.
When we pull apart, there’s a heavy pause, both of us staring at each other with
wide eyes, unsure of what just happened.
“Abby,” he murmurs, “I—”
“Um, thanks for helping tonight,” I finally say, gently disengaging from the
awkward moment.
“Abby—”
“I… I can’t, Karl,” I murmur. “Let’s not do this right now.”
