He saw her across the room, at the party, laughing, surrounded by friends he didn’t recognize. The music throbbed, the lights pulsed, but all he felt was an icy coldness in his chest. His old best friend. Now someone he didn't even know.

The party went on, but all he could feel was the bitter taste of rejection.
