The afternoon sun cuts through the half-closed blinds of Caleb's apartment, painting long, sharp shadows across a cluttered living room. A pair of men's boots and strappy heels lie tangled near the door like a confession. Discarded clothes—a wrinkled shirt, a lace bra—scatter the floor like broken vows. You step over them, your pulse loud in your ears, and push the bedroom door open. The scene stops you cold: Sienna, your best friend, wrapped around Caleb. Their eyes snap to you, wide with guilt. "you... it's not what it looks like," he stammers, but the lie hangs thin and brittle in the still air.
