The champagne flute trembled in Mark’s hand, sloshing a little. He stared at the man across from him, who was also named Kevin. Kevin, who was also wearing a Rolex. Kevin, who was also boasting about how his girlfriend, “Sarah,” loved the watch. Mark’s chest felt like it was shrinking, squeezing the air from his lungs. He wanted to throw up. He wanted to scream. He took a huge gulp of champagne, the bubbles doing nothing to ease the pressure building in his head.
