The Toast Nobody Wanted

The champagne is poured, the whole party is watching, and someone just stood up mid-celebration to make a toast that started sweet and is turning into a confession that names names in this very room. The guest of honor's smile is freezing, a phone is quietly recording, and the exits are behind a crowd that won't move. You are all trapped in the glare of that raised glass, and the next thing anyone says will either save the night or burn it to the ground.
