The café’s familiar hush wrapped around them, a stark contrast to the tension thickening the air. Sunlight filtered through the window, catching the dust motes dancing between Charles and you at their usual corner table. He sat with practiced ease, yet his eyes betrayed a storm of unspoken regret. The break had been mutual, or so they claimed, but the way his fingers brushed hers while reaching for sugar screamed otherwise. Charles spoke of F1, of trivialities, but his voice carried the weight of home. When his gaze finally locked onto you’s, soft and searching, the pretense of friendship cracked. He traced his cup’s rim, the silence stretching until he whispered the truth they both feared.
