A warmth bloomed in David's chest as he watched Chloe navigate the crowded dance floor, her movements fluid and captivating. The band was electric, the music pulsing through him. He'd never felt so alive, so connected to another person. Last night she had told him that she would be his girlfriend. He felt like he could fly, soaring above the world. He'd already envisioned a future filled with laughter and shared adventures. He was just about to find her and sweep her into his arms when a hand touched his shoulder.

"David! Fancy meeting you here!" The voice was familiar, slightly breathless. It was Sarah, a woman from his yoga class. He'd always thought she was attractive, but tonight, his attention was solely on Chloe. He turned, offered a polite smile, and said, "Sarah! Hey! This is... unexpected."

Sarah grinned. “Is it? I was just telling your girlfriend how much I love her dress. She's got great taste, doesn't she?" David's jaw dropped.
