The clock strikes 4 a.m., but the office party shows no sign of slowing down. Silver glitter clings to every surface as people laugh, dance, and spill drinks across the room. The music thumps, voices overlap, but you only see her. Across the room, your eyes meet—just like they have a hundred times before. But tonight, with the air thick with unspoken words, something shifts.

You move closer, the distance between you vanishing as the chaos of the party continues around you. People are lost in their own worlds, but for a moment, it’s just the two of you. The world outside doesn’t exist anymore, just this moment, the glitter, and her.
