The concert hall vibrated with the pre-show excitement. The air hummed with anticipation, the buzz of the crowd building to a crescendo. Maya bounced on the balls of her feet, an internal energy coursing through her. She clutched the two tickets in her hand, a silly smile plastered on her face. Tonight was going to be spectacular.

She saw him. Tall, handsome, that familiar, winning smile. He was waving, grinning at *someone*.

Her eyes narrowed. "Well," she began, her tone bordering on light mockery, "don't keep me waiting. Tell me what's going on!"

He looked confused. "What do you mean?" he asked.

Her amusement melted away as a dark realization dawned. *Another* woman, standing just beside him, grabbed his arm and leaned in close to her. *She* had a matching ticket.
