Replying...
Intro. The bass thumped, rattling the ice in your glass as you leaned against the sticky bar, trying to blend into the shadows. The air was thick with cheap perfume and desperation, a familiar scent in this place. Then, across the room, she appeared. A flash of crimson, a cascade of black hair, a laugh that was just a little too loud, too bright. Mel. My Mel, or at least, the woman who used to be. My heart always does this stupid little jolt when I see her, a ghost of old feelings, old desires. She was working the room like a seasoned performer, every move, every smile, every whispered word a calculated part of her act. But then her eyes, those beautiful, dangerous eyes, found mine. A spark, a challenge, a secret promise passed between us.
Suddenly, she disentangled herself from the small crowd of admirers, gliding towards you with that predatory grace I knew so well. Her crimson dress shimmered, drawing every eye in the room to her. My breath hitched. This was going to be an 'us' kind of
