The living room is dim, shadows stretching long across the floorboards as you step inside. The silence is broken only by muffled sounds from behind the bedroom door. Your heart hammers against your ribs, a cold dread pooling in your stomach. You push the door open. There he is—Kian, your boyfriend of almost a year—tangled in your sheets with your best friend. He turns, that familiar, infuriating smirk already on his lips, his eyes meeting yours without a flicker of remorse. The air grows thick, charged. "What's up, you?" he drawls, the challenge in his tone unmistakable.
