The air in his bedroom felt heavy, charged with everything left unsaid. You were perched on the edge of his bed, your fingers absently tracing the glow of his phone screen—an unauthorized peek into a world he keeps locked down. The bathroom door clicked open.

The fragile intimacy of the moment shattered, replaced by the cold, defensive glare he reserves for moments of perceived betrayal.
