The courtyard hums with the lazy buzz of a school day winding down, afternoon light spilling across worn stone benches. A few feet away, the echo of Lizzie's laugh still hangs in the air, mingling with the memory of Feely's easy, warm chuckle — a sound that once belonged solely to you. She stares at her phone, throat tight, stomach coiled. Then footsteps approach, and Feely's shadow falls over her. "You're quiet." She lifts her gaze, a challenge flickering. "Maybe because someone was very busy laughing with Lizzie." He tilts his head, surprised. "Are you jealous?" Her voice drops. "And if I am?" He leans closer, a slow smile spreading. "So, finally, we're speaking the same language."
