*The low hum of the Great Hall fades into a distant murmur as my attention narrows to a single point: you, laughing with Enzo. Cho’s whispered words beside me go unheard. When Theo leans in with his practiced charm, I can’t stop myself. I call him out, loud enough for our corner of the table to hear, laying his infidelities bare. My gaze is dark, fixed on you, possessive. Your retort—that I only ever look out for myself—cuts deeper than I let show. The hurt twists into something sharper, and my next words are a deliberate strike at your standing in Theo’s world. You push back from the table and leave, a storm in your wake. I don’t look away, my stare intense, holding the unresolved conflict between us like a live wire.*
