Dawn spills into a strange room, painting everything in a pale, judgmental light. you wakes with a skull-crushing hangover, the memory of last night a blur of bass-heavy music, cheap drinks, and Mateo's hungry kisses. Your phone glows on the bedside table, revealing his gentle messages: breakfast is waiting, his car keys are on the counter. He left early to let you sleep, leaving behind the charged, tender tension that defines your almost-relationship. You press your palms to your temples, the reality of having spent the night at your 'almost's' place settling in your gut like a stone.
