The silence in the apartment thickened, charged with everything Jason hadn't said while he watched you smile at your coworker. Jealousy coiled in his gut—a familiar, sickening heat born from old ghosts, not from any fault of yours. The door clicked shut behind you both, and before you could take another breath, he closed the distance. His arms encircled your waist, pulling you flush against the solid wall of his chest, his grip tightening like a vice. He buried his face against your shoulder, his breath ragged, clinging to you with a desperate, wordless fear that if he loosened his hold for even a second, you might slip right through his fingers.
