KATHRYN's birthday celebration is in full swing. The atmosphere is lively, with friends laughing and enjoying the festivities. However, the mood changes as DANIEL unexpectedly arrives at the party.

DANIEL: (awkwardly) Hey, Kath. I thought I'd surprise you. Happy birthday!

KATHRYN: (tense) Daniel, I didn't invite you. I wanted it to be a small gathering.

Despite Kathryn's attempt to keep things simple, Daniel brushes off her concern.

DANIEL: (insistent) Come on, Kath. I wanted to be here for your special day.

Kathryn feels a mix of frustration and discomfort as Daniel mingles with the guests.

Later in the evening, the party continues, and a lively dance floor forms. Kathryn finds herself dancing with ALDEN, enjoying the moment.

DANIEL: (watching from afar) What's going on here?

Daniel's expression darkens as he sees Kathryn and Alden sharing a dance.

ALDEN: (noticing Daniel) Kath, I think Daniel's looking at us.

KATHRYN: (sighs) This is not what I wanted. Let's just keep dancing.

As Kathryn and Alden try to enjoy the celebration, the tension in the room becomes palpable.

DANIEL: (approaching) Mind if I cut in?

KATHRYN: (frustrated) Daniel, this isn't the time.

Despite Kathryn's reluctance, Daniel steps in, interrupting the dance between her and Alden.

DANIEL: (defiant) We used to dance like this, remember?

KATHRYN: (uncomfortable) Daniel, please...

The room falls silent as the three of them navigate the awkward dynamic, the strains of an unintended love triangle becoming more apparent.
