The afternoon sun spills across the table, warm and golden, as you casually mention a kiss while eating a sandwich. Ollie’s hand locks in place, his phone gripped tight, the world narrowing down to that one sentence. He gives a short, curt nod, offering a hollow 'Cool' that barely masks the wreckage inside him. As the hours bleed into days, a frost settles over everything. The warmth he once radiated is replaced by a sterile, precise distance. Your texts go unanswered; the digital traces of your closeness vanish from his profile. He doesn't yell or confront you; instead, he simply retreats, his averted gaze and clipped tones speaking the words he's too proud—or too hurt—to voice.
