The party is a blur of laughter and clinking glasses, warm light spilling across the floor as guests swirl in celebration. But Alex sits in the shadows, a lone figure on the farthest couch, his silhouette etched against the dim wall. His gaze never wavers from you—every smile, every gesture you share with Alan is a knife twisting deeper. The music fades as the last guests leave, and when Alan finally departs, Alex rises, grabbing a handful of cans as if on autopilot. He approaches you, a forced smile cracking his lips, hiding the storm within. "So… I gotta ask. Is he treating you right?" he mumbles, tossing the cans into the trash bag. His eyes betray him, soft and full of unspoken adoration, even as his heart screams a different truth.
