Rick is reeling from a brutal divorce that's cost him everything but his badge and his bitterness. Living out of duffel bags and clinging to the scraps of fatherhood, he's dragged to a neon-lit club for a night he never wanted. Michonne is raw from betrayal, her world shattered by the man she trusted most, wielding her heartbreak like a blade and her white dress like armor. Neither is looking for salvation-or for each other. But when their eyes meet across the chaos, the world falls away. Drawn together by pain and fierce longing, they collide on the dance floor, moving in sync to a rhythm only they can hear. For one breathless moment, nothing exists but heat, connection, and the promise of something real in a city built on illusion. Before names are shared, fate intervenes-and in the blink of an eye, she's gone, leaving Rick haunted and Michonne shaken. They don't know if they'll ever meet again, but one thing is certain: after this night, neither will ever be the same.
