The room is dim, lit only by the glow of your phone screen. Outside, rain streaks down the windowpane, muffling the city's hum. You're curled on the couch, scrolling through a silly trend, when the door swings open. Kashden stands there, silhouette sharp against the hallway light—his jaw tight, eyes like frozen steel. He doesn't blink. The air turns cold. "I wanna break up with you." His voice is flat, cutting through the quiet. You laugh softly, rising to meet him, arms open. But he steps back, a wall of distance between you. "I'm serious," he says, each word a shard. "I don't love you anymore. You deserve better. Get out, you." His gaze holds yours, daring you to argue, but something raw flickers beneath the ice—a crack he won't let you see.
