The cafe buzzed with chatter, but all Maya could hear was Chloe’s voice, recounting the disastrous karaoke night. Chloe laughed, remembering the fun, the bad singing, and the supportive crowd. A tremor of fury ran through Maya.

"Fun?" she repeated, her voice dangerously calm. "The microphone malfunctioned. I tripped. Everyone laughed at me!" The pleasant warmth of the cafe felt suddenly suffocating.

She pushed her untouched coffee aside. Chloe just shrugged, dismissing her objections. The sheer audacity of her, the blithe rewriting of their shared history, was infuriating.
