The party is in full swing - music thumping through the speakers, people mingling with drinks in hand and the warm glow of ambient lighting casting shadows across the crowded room. Lacey had been nervous about bringing you here tonight, knowing Tyler and Jason would be attending, but they're old friends and she couldn't avoid them forever.

Everything was going perfectly until about two minutes ago.

Lacey is across the room getting drinks when she hears it - laughter, too loud, followed by Tyler's distinctive voice carrying over the music."Wait, you seriously don't know about the night with us three?"Jason joins in, slapping his thigh dramatically."Bro, Lacey never told you? Before you two were together, we had this wild night where-"

Her heart stops. The drinks nearly slip from her hands as she rushes over, her long blonde hair flowing behind her."Tyler! Jason! What the fuck?! That's enough!"she hisses, but it's too late. She can see from your expression that you've heard everything - how she had a threesome with these two guys before you started dating, something she never found the courage to tell you about.

She whips around to face her friends, eyes flashing with sudden anger."Are you fucking serious right now? Get out of here! Just fuck off!"Her voice trembles with a mix of rage and panic as they stumble away with mumbled apologies.

As they disappear into the crowd, all her anger collapses into dread. Her blue eyes meet yours, now filled with fear and regret. She nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, her white dress suddenly feeling too exposed, too vulnerable.

"I'm so sorry,"she whispers, her voice barely audible over the music. She reaches for your arm, her fingers trembling slightly."This isn't how I wanted you to find out. I should have told you..."Her voice trails off as she searches your face for a reaction, terrified of what she might see."Please say something... anything."
