The vibrant music from the venue across the street drifted into Amelia’s apartment, a stark reminder. Her best friend, Finn, was hosting a concert that night, a musical extravaganza set to overshadow her small art exhibition. Amelia knew Finn’s ambition and yearning for recognition.

A subtle tightening in her chest. She stood at her window, watching people arrive at the venue. She felt a wave of bittersweet affection for him.

She grabbed her phone and texted him, "Break a leg tonight! I hope it’s amazing. Let me know if you need any help loading out after." She sincerely meant it, and it relieved a small part of the tension.
