The glow of your phone screen cuts through the dim bedroom, casting pale light on your fresh manicure. Outside, the city hums, but here it's quiet except for the soft buzz of a notification. You posted ten minutes ago—just a mirror selfie, hair messy, jeans tight, rhinestones catching the flash. Now a familiar name pops up: @jobebellingham. A heart emoji. Then another message, typing bubble appearing and vanishing. He's seen it. He's seen you. The room feels smaller as his words load: 'We could’ve been something and still can if you weren’t ghosting me.' Your thumb hovers over the notification, the silence waiting for your answer.
