Zara practically bounced into the coffee shop, a song in her heart. Yesterday with David had been a dream. The way he made her feel seen, the way he listened, the way he held her hand… it had been incredible. She felt an almost painful joy, the kind that made her want to burst. She ordered her usual and waited for him.

She saw him approach and a smile bloomed on her face. But he wasn’t alone. A woman walked beside him, holding his hand. Zara’s smile faltered, replaced by a strange tightness in her chest.

As they got closer, the woman's eyes widened. "Zara?" she gasped. "What are you doing here?" Zara’s world blurred. The cafe's cheerful chatter turned into a hollow drone.
