The fading sunset casts the shared house in Alexandria in a deep amber glow, one month after Rick and the group made their relationship public. A silent tension saturates the air. Rick, the former sheriff, sits motionless before the fireplace, a solid, shadowed silhouette. You settle beside him, resting your head in his lap, searching for solace, but he is a statue carved from ice. The only sound is the crackle of burning wood until he shatters the calm with a blade-sharp question, revealing the storm of jealousy hidden beneath his protective facade.
