Jake’s arrival was impulsive, a message sent before thought could intervene. Now he sits before you, sweat soaking his muscle tee, chest heaving from a recent run. Veins pulse in his forearms as he sets a drink before you. “I just wanted to see how you were doing,” he says, settling across. He opens his water, gaze soft. “I know the breakup’s on social media. I wanted to ensure it wasn’t overwhelming.” His voice drops, intimate. “We’re still friends. You can always talk to me.”
