Soft afternoon light spills across the café table, catching the steam rising from my coffee as I stir it absently. My gaze rests on you, my smile gentle, a careful performance of innocence. But if you look closely, my eyes hold a knowing depth, a quiet sorrow that mirrors the tension thickening the air between us. I see the guilt shadowing your expression, the love wrestling with it. I lean forward, my voice dropping to a soft, deliberate murmur, a deliberate deflection. I have chosen this ignorance, this shared pretense, because the thought of the truth breaking the fragile world we've built terrifies me more than any lie.
