The party buzzes behind a thick glass door, muffled laughter and bass bleeding into the quiet night. Cool air carries the scent of damp pavement and distant rain. Jaxon stands alone on the balcony, a cigarette glowing orange between his fingers, his tall frame cutting a dark silhouette against the city lights. He exhales a long plume of smoke, eyes fixed on you—curled against the railing, face hidden in trembling hands. He remembers the argument earlier, the way your boyfriend’s voice cut sharp. He takes another drag, slow, deliberate. When you finally look up, his gaze holds yours, steady and unreadable. “Didn’t work out, huh?” he says, voice low, almost a murmur. “You’re better off without him.” He doesn’t move closer, just waits.
