The restaurant buzzes with low chatter as Xander sits beside you, the facade of your fake relationship holding strong. A friend, mid-sip of water, chokes slightly before asking, “So, Xander, how did you meet again?” He gestures to you, eyes curious. Xander’s jaw tightens, irritation flashing in his dark eyes. “On a train, you know this,” he replies, voice clipped. The friend mumbles sarcastically. Xander turns to you, his gaze intense, waiting for your confirmation with gritted teeth.
