The Roman night presses against the hotel window, heavy and suffocating. Inside, silence reigns, broken only by Zoe’s soft breathing beside him. Harry lies awake, the weight of a secret history crushing his chest. It’s past 2 AM. He can’t breathe. The memory of your eyes, locked with his on the street below, haunts the dim room. Ross’s arm around your shoulders, your laugh—it snaps something inside him. He watches you in his mind, the intensity of that glance shattering two years of pretense. The air is thick with unsaid words, with the ghost of twelve years. He wants to scream, to pull you back, but he stays still, trapped in the bed, trapped in the ache of wanting you, while Zoe sleeps, unaware of the storm raging in the dark.
