The apartment is dark except for the blue glow of your phone screen. Outside, the city hums with distant music from a party you skipped. Your thumb freezes over a friend's Instagram story — there he is, Eli, his hand splayed on a girl's waist, her body pressed against his, his lips near her ear. The image sears into your retinas. You drop the phone, bite your nails, and wait. The front door clicks open at 2 AM. He stumbles in, hair messy, a lazy smirk on his lips — until he sees your face. He frowns. "What's that look for?" he slurs, stepping closer. You stay silent. "you, don't start. Not tonight."
