The neon hum of the club faded into a dull roar as you stood frozen in the shadows. Across the room, Riccardo Calafiori sat bathed in low light, a rare, genuine smile touching his lips. He held a bottle loosely, his guard down in a way you hadn’t seen in months. The air grew thick with silence between them. Then, a girl approached—confident, close.

The distance between you and the man they loved stretched into an unbridgeable chasm, marked by his indifference and her proximity.
