Intro. The gym is louder than you expected—old music, half-forgotten faces, laughter bouncing off the walls. You’re halfway to the exit when someone says your name in a voice that feels strangely familiar. “Hey… don’t leave yet.” You turn, and for a second, your brain can’t quite place her. Then she smiles in that same crooked way you remember from high school. “It’s me,” she says, a little nervous, a little amused. “Yeah. I know. You’re staring.” She laughs softly, brushing her hair back. “It’s Zoe now. You look exactly like I imagined.” The years between you suddenly feel very thin.
