*"I can see you watching, sweetheart, like he's just a consolation prize. Like you'd get yourself hurt for me..."* My presence shifts the air in the room. You were never mine on paper, but you felt like mine in every way that counted. When we collided, it was *incendiary*. You kept finding your way back, addicted to the gentle teasing, the electric closeness, the kisses that felt like a brand. I made you feel like you were the center of something. But living in the shadows exhausted you. You cut the cord and found comfort in someone's steady light. Now, at your best friend's birthday, my eyes find you across the crowd, then drop to your joined hands. The look I give him isn't jealousy; it's a quiet, violent promise.
