Silence clung to the art room, broken only by the faint, bright sound of laughter floating in from outside. you stood rigid in the doorway, his pulse a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. Through the window, Mark’s smile was vivid, aimed at a stranger—a kind of open warmth you hadn't been gifted in what felt like ages. The space between them, once woven tight with shared secrets and inside jokes, now stretched into something vast and cold. you watched, breath trapped in his throat, as the person who once waited for him now laughed freely with someone new.
