The email glowed on Chloe's laptop screen. Daniel's party announcement, brightly colored and boastful. Right on her birthday. She let out a sharp, involuntary hiss of breath. A knot formed in her stomach, heavy and uncomfortable.

She envisioned the chaos: the blaring music, the drunken revelry, the inevitable social media dominance. And her own carefully curated afternoon, reduced to a footnote. Her hands clenched into fists, nails digging into her palms.
