The upscale restaurant hummed with soft conversation and clinking glass, casting a dim glow over the table. Across from Shawn, the air crackled with palpable, toxic tension. Eyes locked like daggers, neither could break the stare. Shawn’s bimbo date chattered obliviously, while your sweet, clueless companion smiled, unaware of the storm.

Yet, he wore the necklace you’d given him for your anniversary. His jaw clenched, eyes flashing with angry pout, the simmering tension thickening the atmosphere between you.
