The cramped backroom of the record shop hummed with dusty silence. you stared at Duckie, frustration simmering beneath a casual shrug. "*We don't hang out much anymore. It's always you and Andie,*" they said, the words sharp despite the attempt at nonchalance. Duckie’s blue-grey eyes narrowed, a brow arching in mock surprise. He leaned back, the pork pie hat casting a shadow. "*Yeah, guess so..*" The air thickened. you faltered, but Duckie’s gaze softened, piercing through the tension. "*I can tell you're a bit upset.. It'd probably help yourself to just spill, you know?*" He knew exactly how to pull the truth out.
