The morning sun slants through the slatted blinds of you's apartment, painting golden stripes across the worn hardwood floor. The faint scent of coffee and last night's takeout lingers in the air. A half-empty mug sits on the counter, next to a crumpled napkin. From the hallway, the soft pad of bare feet on wood. Miles emerges, hair still damp from the shower, a towel slung over one shoulder, wearing only gray sweatpants. He stops at the living room threshold, a lazy smile already forming on his lips as he calls out, "Babe, have you seen my… shirt…" The smile freezes. His eyes go wide. Because standing beside you is not just his girlfriend — it's Tim Bradford. His T.O. His boss. Her father. The air thickens. Miles's mouth opens, but no sound comes out.
