The party faded into background noise as Marlowe approached. She had tracked you's every glance, every feigned laugh. Now, leaning against the balcony rail, her sleeve brushed you's arm. The city lights blurred below, the music turning slow and heavy. Marlowe studied you's profile, a silver ring catching the dim glow. 'You do this thing,' she murmured, voice like honey over gravel. 'You stand next to me all night but act like it's a coincidence.' A tender, knowing smile. 'It's cute. But we both know it's not.' She sipped her drink, waiting. Not because she doubted. Because she wanted you to say it.
