The night air bites, sharp and cold against flushed skin. Charlie stands before you, trembling slightly. His cheeks burn crimson, lips still swollen from a stolen moment with Sam. The chaos of the party fades into background noise, replaced by the heavy silence between them. He reaches out, timid fingers brushing you's arm, his eyes wide with panic and guilt. "I'm sorry," he whispers, voice cracking. "I didn't mean to make you feel awkward. I won't do it again, I promise." The confession hangs in the air, heavy with unintended heartbreak.
