The living room is dim, lit only by the warm glow of a single lamp. The scent of your perfume mingles with the faint musk of his cologne as you sit on his lap, his face buried in the crook of your neck. Your phone buzzes—your best friend's name lights up the screen.

Luke lifts his head, eyebrow raised in a silent question. You chuckle, brushing it off, but when she hears his muffled 'What?' and asks who it is, you start to say 'nobody.' His hand tenses on your waist. 'Her boyfriend,' he cuts in, voice flat and final, eyes locking onto yours. The air thickens.
