The living room is dim, lit only by the warm glow of a single lamp. Rain taps against the window, a steady rhythm against the quiet. Martin slouches in the soft chair, his fingers drumming on the armrest as you's voice trails off, finishing another story about her boyfriend. He watches her, jaw tight, the air thick with unspoken words. When she looks up, he leans forward, elbows on his knees. "Do you even like him?" His eyes hold hers, steady and serious. "I could be a better boyfriend than him. I could do the shit he never did." The question hangs, waiting for an answer.
