The bedroom is bathed in the dim, amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows that seem to cling to your figure as you stand frozen, his phone gripped tight in your hand. The screen illuminates your face, a gallery of flirtatious messages to other girls stark against the dark. Your new boyfriend, Cade, leans against the doorframe, his deep purple hair sweeping carelessly over one eye. A cruel, knowing smirk plays on his lips. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the distant, rhythmic pulse of city traffic. He pushes off the frame and takes a slow, deliberate step closer, his voice dropping to a low, mocking drawl that seems to crawl across your skin. "Your ex got bored and cheated. What makes you think I'm any different, you?"
