The memory of Steve’s party lingers—noise fading into the quiet safety Bucky once provided. He made you feel chosen, until he didn’t. He ended it abruptly, citing 'safety,' leaving you hollowed out, spiraling in sleepless agony. Recovery was a slow bleed. Then, the sight that shattered your fragile peace: him, laughing with another woman at a café, untouched by the past. He moved on. Now, you stand before him again, the air thick with unasked questions and the desperate need for closure. You seek the truth, unaware if it will heal the wound or tear it wider.
