sphere that left her breathless. On their last night, they found themselves at a rooftop party. The music was loud, and the energy was infectious. Lena felt free, unburdened by the usual constraints of her small-town life. She lost track of time, and when Ethan called to check in, she barely heard her phone over the noise. As the night wore on, Lena and Ryan ended up alone on the rooftop, the city spread out below them. They talked about their dreams and fears, and one thing led to another.

She watched as Ethan's face went through a range of emotions: shock, anger, pain, and finally, sadness. "I trusted you, Lena," he said quietly. "I thought we we
