Sarah
I am having a great time at my birthday party. Everyone is having a great time, laughing and dancing. It couldn't be going any better.
"Happy birthday, Sarah!" someone shouts, cheering me on as they pass by. I grin, my cheeks flushed from the heat and excitement.
"Thanks!" I yell back, scanning the sea of faces for one in particular.
Vincent. The man who's been a constant shadow over my life, his smug smile and piercing eyes always leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable. But tonight, this night is mine, and he's nowhere to be found. Good. Maybe he went back to hell where he belongs.
I feel lighter already, as if a dark cloud has lifted. A wave of relief washes over me, freeing me from his oppressive presence. I can finally breathe again.
I watch as Natalie sways her hips in
