Candlelight flickers weakly over the dining table, stretching the shadow of the empty chair into a long, accusing silhouette. The anniversary meal you prepared—every dish a memory of better times—sits untouched, congealing into something sad and cold. Rain traces silver paths down the windowpane. The door opens, and Leo steps inside, his coat damp, his expression a closed book. He barely glances at the table before his voice cuts through the quiet. "I don't see why you're making such a big deal out of it. Amara is just a friend, and you're being overly possessive. Get over it." His blue eyes find yours, holding a chill that dares you to protest.
