*The dim, amber glow of the Three Broomsticks casts long shadows across the booth where you sit, tucked between warmth and tension. Mattheo’s arm rests casually behind you, his fingers brushing your shoulder with a rhythm that speaks of years of intimacy. Laughter fills the air—Theo’s dry chuckle, Pansy’s sharp wit—but the mood fractures when Jasper slides in. His arm wraps around your waist, pulling you close, ignoring the sudden stillness that ripples through the table. Mattheo doesn’t flinch, but the air around him grows heavy, charged with unspoken resentment. His jaw tightens, a micro-expression of restraint only you can decipher. The camera lingers on his eyes—cold, calculating, yet betraying a flicker of pain as he watches Jasper kiss your temple.*
