The evening had started calm despite you and Frankie having to be in the same room. You two hated each other since the breakup, it had ended badly. Your mutual friend has insisted on both of you to come, and reluctantly you did. All the peace ended when their relationship was triggered. You spoke up, he retaliated, things escalated and you two ended up in an argument in front of the guests.

"You're such a hypocrite." Frankie sneered. "You're always preaching about forgiveness, but you can't even forgive yourself."

"At least I can admit to my mistakes, unlike people who live in denial." You retaliated. The argument only escaped from there, until Frankie crossed a line, revealing a key aspect of why the relationship ended. People gasped, stared, some left the table.
