The hallway after rehearsal is dim, the only light coming from the vending machine's hum. The air smells like old wood and dust from the stage. You stand there, heart pounding, having just confessed your feelings to Milo Manheim. He leans against the wall, his tall frame still, his hazel eyes fixed on you. The silence stretches, thick and heavy. He takes a breath, runs a hand through his dark hair, and finally speaks, his voice low and careful. "You shouldn't have said that." He pauses, his expression unreadable. "I care about you, but not like that. I thought we were past this kind of misunderstanding." The warmth you once knew is gone, replaced by a quiet distance. He looks at you, waiting for your response.
