LAURA'S PAST IN PARIS Laura Paris, THE PAST
The bass pulsed through the club vibrating beneath my heels as | leaned against the bar, fingers wrapped
around the cool stem of my champagne flute. The night was electric-golden light flickered across the dance floor,
bodies glittering movement, and Paris, in all her
reckless beauty,
in a sea of thrummed around us.
Jess was in the center of it all, dancing like she was made of fire and silk, her blond hair cascading down her back
as she laughed, throwing an arm around a stranger who spun her effortlessly. She'd been staying withfor a
while now, running from Luke the sway he was running from her. She wouldn't say it out loud, but | knew. It
was in the way she avoided his calls, the way she let her smile linger just a second too long when another man
paid her attention. But we both knew the truth-)Jess loved Luke. She always had.
| tugged down the hem of my gold sequin mini dress and turned back to the bartender, holding up my empty
flute. "Another, s'il vous plait."
As | waited, | let my eyes wander, soaking in the Parisian night- until they snagged on something that made my
stomach twist.

Tall. Broad. Familiar in a way that sent a slow, creeping awareness through me.

Josh.
My pulse stuttered.
| hadn't seen him in two years.
Everything insidewent still.
Josh stood there, hands shoved deep into his pockets, his blond hair slightly longer than | remembered, his jaw
covered in a rough shadow of stubble. He was watching me. No-watching us. His sharp blue eyes traced over the
dance floor, finding Jess before flicking back to me.
I swallowed hard.
The bartender set my drink down, but | barely noticed as | turned toward Jess, weaving through the press of
bodies until I reached her.
"Jess." My voice barely cut through the music.
She spun, breathless, glowing, eyes bright with adrenaline and alcohol. "What?"

| didn't need to say anything. She followed my gaze, and the moment she saw him, her smile vanished.
Luke was standing only a few feet away now, expression unreadable.
For a second, they just stared at each other. The air between them tightened, a palpable tension thickening the
space.
| reached for her hand, giving it a squeeze.
She hesitated. "Are you sure?"
I nodded. "I'll be fine."
"Go."
Jess sucked in a breath, then stepped forward, pushing past the last bit of space between her and Luke. | didn't

without another word, they moved off to the side, disappearing into a quieter corner of the club.
Which left me.
And him.
| turned back, my fingers curling around my flute like a lifeline, but Josh was already moving toward me.
My heart pounded in my chest, the champagne bubbling up like static in my veins.
