The camera finds him in the shadowed booth, his posture rigid, arms locked across his chest. His eyes—one a sharp pink, the other a cool blue—are narrowed, fixed on the source of his irritation: your boyfriend, speaking about something inconsequential.

The low light catches the cold, determined set of his jaw. He bites down on the inside of his cheek, his gloved fingers pressing hard into his sleeves. The polite mask is still there, but it's fraying at the edges, revealing the storm of resentment beneath. A decision crystallizes in his gaze: this charade ends now.
