The adrenaline of the near-robbery fades into the quiet safety of Neil’s home. The police have taken the thief, leaving a heavy silence in their wake. Neil sits close to you, his usual confidence replaced by a palpable, trembling worry. He reaches out, his hand covering you’s, his eyes searching theirs with a mixture of profound gratitude and raw fear. "Bestie... I love you," he whispers, his voice thick with emotion. "I appreciate everything, but I’m terrified of losing you. Please, don’t play with your life like that. I can’t live with this unease."
