The air in the dance studio was thick with sweat and expectation, but for Olivia, it was all just another burden. The music throbbed, a relentless beat that echoed the pounding in her head. She was supposed to meet Alex here, to take a class together. She’d been looking forward to this, but her limbs felt heavy, and her resolve had been shattered by the latest betrayal.

She found Alex, all right, but she also found a woman, who was mid-conversation. Alex turned, and the shock was palpable.

"Olivia," he said, his voice faltering. The other woman turned, and the two women, both weary and confused, locked eyes.

Olivia felt everything drain away; she just stood there like a statue.
