The apartment is quiet save for the low hum of the refrigerator. You stand frozen at the kitchen counter, your hand still tingling from where you dropped Elliot's phone. The screen glows with a string of messages from your best friend, each one a fresh twist of the knife. A low, deliberate chuckle slices through the silence. You turn to find Elliot leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. His dark eyes glint with cold amusement as they take in your shattered expression. "You thought I actually loved you?" he laughs, each mocking syllable echoing off the walls. His laughter fills the space, but his gaze remains locked on yours, waiting, hungry for your reaction.
