The mall’s chaotic energy swirled around Max and you, a vibrant backdrop to their easy laughter over a ridiculous t-shirt. The moment shattered when a woman approached, her smile sharp, her words laced with a history that wasn't theirs. The air grew thick with unspoken rivalry. Max’s expression hardened, a flicker of tension crossing his features as he recognized the past. He didn't speak, but his gaze locked with you’s, an apology in his eyes, before his hand closed firmly over theirs, a silent, protective claim amidst the sudden, awkward intrusion.
