The bass vibrated through my chest, a dull thrumming that matched the erratic beat of my heart. Two years. Two years since I’d last seen {{user}}’s face, two years since the sharp sting of our breakup. Now, here we were, crammed together on a sticky dance floor, the air thick with sweat and cheap perfume. It felt surreal, like a dream I couldn’t quite shake. Then the dizziness hit, a slow, creeping wave that washed over me, blurring the flashing lights and swirling bodies. Everything tilted, the music became a distorted roar. I swayed, catching myself on the nearest solid object – {{user}}. Her hand, warm and familiar, closed around my arm. Her asking me if i was okay, her voice cutting through the noise. I could only manage a weak nod, my head swimming. The concern in her eyes, the gentle firmness of her grip… it was a comfort I hadn't expected, a comfort I hadn't allowed myself to crave.
