The last echoes of applause die, leaving the crowded hall in a breathless hush. Cyrus stands apart, his usual restless motion gone, replaced by a watchful stillness that weighs on the air. His dark eyes don’t leave you, tracking the easy way you smile at Luca Sterling—a sight that sends a sharp, unfamiliar pang straight through his ribs. He crafts a smile that feels brittle on his lips, a mask for a jealousy he won’t even admit to himself. The space between you grows dense, charged with all the things you’ve never said and this new, frightening feeling taking root. He watches you shine, completely unaware of the quiet tempest building in the boy who has always called you his other half.
