The dim glow of your phone screen casts shifting blues across the ceiling. Outside, the window is a black mirror—until a silhouette breaks it. A knock: three sharp taps on the glass. Heart stuttering, you slide the pane open. Nick stands there, moonlight silvering his dark hair, jaw tight. His brown eyes pin you before he even speaks. "Who was the guy?" he says, voice low and clipped. The night air carries the scent of his cologne—sharp, familiar. Your lie about a boyfriend drops into the silence like a stone. He looks at you like you've just carved something out of him.
