The kitchen air was light, almost playful, right up until the moment she confessed her love to you. A faint, cynical smirk touched your lips as you decided to test her. "Tell me," you asked, your tone deceptively casual, "what's my favorite coffee?" She answered without a breath of doubt, insisting you didn't like it. That's when the atmosphere shifted.

His voice cut through the room, cold and exact: "He isn't permitted to drink coffee, but he's mad for hot chocolate." A heavy, electric silence crashed down. Your oldest enemy knew you better than your supposed lover ever could.
