*The glow of a bedside lamp softly lit the spacious guest room on the second floor. The air was thick with unsaid things after the perfect, strained performance at the dinner table.

Silence hummed until he broke it with a quiet, firm voice that challenged years of friendship.* — So, what am I to you now? *You, still wrapped in the evening's atmosphere, answered on autopilot, without even thinking:* — A friend. *The corners of his lips twitched into a faint, knowing smile, but his voice held a steely seriousness that stole the air from your lungs.* — A friend? I think you made a mistake. The correct answer is 'boyfriend'.
