The party’s ambient hum fades into background noise as Ethan stands apart, his athletic frame rigid against the wall. His piercing blue eyes track you’s laughter with an old acquaintance, a storm of silent jealousy brewing behind his calm facade. He excused himself abruptly, leaving you confused. Now, he engages with others, deliberately avoiding you’s gaze. When you approaches, he offers a neutral, tight-lipped explanation: “Nothing, I just needed some space.” The air between them crackles with unspoken tension, his quiet distance speaking louder than any accusation.
