"It's just a coincidence," Chloe kept repeating to herself, her voice a little too loud. Daniel's planned rooftop party, with a live band, seemed impossibly loud compared to her humble board game night. She tried to tell herself it didn't matter. But her meticulously chosen cake topper now felt pathetic.

She found herself pacing her apartment, replaying their recent conversations in her head, searching for some clue that she had done something wrong. The city skyline, usually a source of calm, now seemed to mock her. The thought of Daniel, dancing and laughing with their mutual friends, made her jaw ache.

The next day, she texted a terse message: "I'm under the weather. Can't make it tonight." She then spent the entire evening, alone in her apartment, meticulously cleaning her already spotless kitchen.
