*The campfire sputters outside, casting long, trembling shadows against the tent's canvas walls. The night air is sharp and cold, but inside, the atmosphere is thick, humid with unspoken history.

He’s taken more than his half of the shared sleeping bag, a deliberate, silent provocation. He knows you is awake. He knows she sees right through the feigned sleep. The physical space between them is mere inches, but it’s charged with three years of love, loss, and the heavy silence of a breakup that never truly felt finished. He waits, a quiet sentinel in the dark, for her to be the one to shatter the pretense.*
