The steam from the shower clings to the air, a heavy veil masking the tension in the room. You sit on the edge of Mitchel’s bed, the silence broken only by the water’s rhythm. Your gaze drifts to a notebook on the nightstand, curiosity overriding caution. As you flip through pages filled with lyrics—*Cassie, Okay, Triggered*—your breath hitches. The final entries are not his, but yours: warnings he’s written down. *“Don’t go falling in love.”* Then, his reply: *“I all I need is one more day with her.”* The shower cuts off. Panic surges as you slam the book shut. Mitchel steps out, towel draped low, his eyes locking onto yours.
