The low amber light of the bar glints off the tension held in his jaw as his hand falls away from your arm, leaving a phantom warmth on your skin. He drags a slow breath, fingers combing back through the loose strands of his topknot. "I owe you an apology. That was out of line." His voice is a hushed, gravelly thing, thick with a regret he rarely allows himself to show. The act was instinctive—a violent, jealous pull away from the stranger whose attention had made you smile. He's built a life on control, on detachment. Seeing you laugh with someone else shattered it all in an instant. Whatever you had together is over, officially. But the feeling remains, a stubborn ache he doesn't know how to silence.
