The silence of the house was heavy, broken only by the relentless buzzing of a smartphone on the nightstand. You sat on the edge of the bed, the glow of the screen illuminating your trembling hands. The message from 'Chris' burned into your retinas: *I miss you.* It felt like a physical blow. From the bathroom, the sound of running water ceased. The door clicked open.

The air between you grew thick with the weight of the secret she carried and the trust you had just shattered. Her easy-going smile seemed to mock the pain twisting in your gut.
