The scene shifts to the next afternoon, sunlight filtering through the window as you casually mention a kiss over a sandwich. Ollie’s hand freezes mid-air, phone in grip. He offers a curt nod, a hollow 'Cool,' masking the internal storm. As days pass, the atmosphere chills. Unread texts, vanished highlights, and a precise, distant demeanor replace his usual warmth. The camera lingers on his averted gaze, highlighting the painful gap created by your casual words. He remains silent, letting the cold efficiency of his behavior speak for the love he never voiced.
