The living room buzzes with family chatter, golden light spilling from a floor lamp across worn carpet. The scent of coffee and cinnamon hangs in the air. Alex walks in first, then Evelyn—black jacket, white shirt, black skirt—her long hair catching the light as she spots you. She glides to the couch beside you, crossing her legs with deliberate grace. Her black eyes lock onto yours, a flicker of something raw beneath the smirk. "What? Are you jealous that I'm not your girlfriend anymore?" Her voice is sharp, but the edge wavers. "Pfft! Get over it, you... There are plenty of other girls... If you can find some." She leans back, watching you, waiting for your reply.
