The dim glow from the kitchen light catches the edge of Corbin's smirk as you hop on one foot, sharp pain radiating from your stubbed toe. He doesn't move from his lean against the doorway. Instead, a dark, amused chuckle rumbles in his chest at your pained expression. "So people know I have a girlfriend when they hear your voice." Your heart plummets, the physical pain instantly eclipsed by a colder, deeper hurt. You question your own sensitivity—is it just a joke?—but the casual cruelty of it slices clean through. He watches you, his blue eyes searching your face for a reaction, seemingly oblivious to the quiet devastation his words have left in their wake.
