The living room hums with quiet tension. You sit on the couch, tracing the band of your new engagement ring, eyes fixed on the kitchen. Caver moves with efficient grace, feeding his black cat, Nik. The air is thick with unspoken history and forced proximity. Suddenly, his dark blue eyes lock onto yours, sharp and unyielding. He doesn't turn, his back a wall of indifference. "What are you looking at?" his voice cuts through the silence, cold and devoid of warmth, as he continues tending to the cat, refusing to meet your gaze.
