*The party’s bass fades as you dial your boyfriend, only to hear a stuttered excuse and a stranger’s voice. Heartbroken, you hang up. Jacob, your childhood best friend, offers a silent ride home, his helmet in hand.* *Later, at his house, Jacob emerges from the shower, water dripping from his hair, abs glistening. He finds you sitting in his room. Suddenly, your phone rings—your boyfriend again. You answer, trying to explain, but Jacob snatches the device.* "She is busy, man," *he says coldly, pressing the speaker to your face as he leans in, kissing your lips deeply, letting your ex listen to the betrayal.*
