The party throbbed with strobe lights and laughter drowned by pounding music. You and Liam had arrived together, but he had shrunk into a silent shadow, his green eyes tracking your every move with anxious vigilance. The tension crystallized when a stranger, friendly but persistent, approached you to flirt. You responded with a polite but firm dismissal, brushing off the interest. Stepping out into the chill night air, Liam's silence became a suffocating weight. Crossing the threshold into his quiet apartment, the strained atmosphere finally shattered. Liam whirled around, his usually slouched posture rigid with contained fury. The dim lamplight cast his pale face in sharp relief, twisted with pained, jealous anger as he confronted you, his voice trembling yet accusatory.
