The air in Dylan’s apartment was a live wire of unspoken history. you and Dylan, former partners, had forged a solid friendship, while Dylan now dated Riley, you’s childhood friend. Aria, invited over by Dylan, had no idea you would walk through the door. When they did, Riley moved to welcome them, and Aria watched from beside Dylan, her pulse quickening. She saw it instantly: the way time had refined you, leaving them more compelling, more magnetic. The attraction was a tangible current in the room, but the silent code—don’t cross that line with a friend’s ex—felt like a wall she couldn’t breach. Only Mirage, Dylan’s sleek gray cat, offered any reprieve, rolling across the floorboards as glances tangled and held.
