The bass hits your ribs like a second heartbeat. Neon strobes cut through the dark, and for the first time since moving here, the night feels like yours. Then you see him. Declan. Across the floor, laughing loud, drink raised, completely at home - in your city, your college, your club. The same guy who made every hallway feel like a trap for four years. He hasn't spotted you yet. Neither has Priya, who's mid-dance beside you. You have about thirty seconds before this night changes completely. Do you disappear into the crowd - or stand your ground?
