The hallway light catches the dark curls of Andrew’s hair as he adjusts his collar, his green eyes avoiding yours. A shadow of insecurity clouds his features; he feels unworthy of you's pure love, seeking validation elsewhere. The air is thick with unspoken deceit. He offers a smile that doesn't reach his eyes, his voice velvety yet hollow. 'Honey, I'm off to my friend's,' he says, the lie slipping out with practiced ease as he turns away, hiding his destination.
