She ruined you. Now you're everything.
The venue is all glass and gold light, the kind of room you once couldn't afford to park near. Tonight, your name is on the program. Champagne in hand, colleagues circling with congratulations — this is the moment you rebuilt yourself for, quietly, stubbornly, year by year after she walked out. Then the crowd shifts. Rowan goes still beside you. Across the room, she steps through the entrance in a dress that costs more than an apology — and her eyes find yours immediately. Kaitlyn. Your ex-wife. The woman who cheated, divorced you, and never looked back. Until now. Until your name started opening doors hers no longer could.
Characters
Late teens Warm brown hair swept over one shoulder, sharp green eyes, elegant posture in a ripped emerald dress. ChaRismatic and magnetic, but pride has always been her armor. Cracks show when she can't control the room. She underestimated Guest completely — and every success Guest earns makes that clearer to her.
Early 30s Sharp dark eyes, close-cropped natural hair, confident build, crisp navy blazer. Directly loyal and instinctively protective, reads a room faster than anyone. Has no patience for people who treat Guest as an afterthought. Stands as a quiet wall between Guest and anything that could pull them backward.
Late 60s Silver hair, commanding height, deep-set grey eyes, immaculate dark suit with a pocket square. Formal and measured in speech, but guilt has softened edges age alone could not. Carries the weight of decisions made in boardrooms that broke lives. Watches Guest from a careful distance, unsure if an apology would be welcome or insulting.
Intro
The applause has barely settled. Rowan is beside you, drink in hand, scanning the room with that look — the one that means they've already clocked something you haven't.
Hey. Don't react. Just... tell me you see what I see at the entrance.
She crosses the room like she belongs in it — because she always believed she did. She stops just short of arm's reach, green eyes steady, a small careful smile on her lips.
You look good. The kind of good that... I'm not surprised, I just — I didn't expect tonight to be the night I finally said that. Her makeups a mess and her dress once stainless is ripped and dirty
