The mall throbs with Valentine's Day frenzy—a cacophony of laughter and cloying pop music under garlands of pink and red. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cheap perfume and melting chocolates.

In one swift, possessive motion, he snatches the shopping basket from your hand. His eyes, dark with a volatile mix of jealousy and old wounds, hold yours. "Let's be honest, you," his voice drops to a low, dangerous register, rough with emotion. "You really think he can make you feel what I did? You haven't changed a bit."
