The December cold is a knife-edged whisper, cutting straight through your coat. Your boyfriend, Rowan, stands a few feet away with his closest friend, Lena, his broad shoulders a silent barricade against the wind. He catches your shiver—his eyes flicker to you for a fractured second—but he says nothing. Then, in one fluid motion, he pulls his sweater over his head and offers it to Lena, that rare, soft smile breaking through his usual icy composure. "Here, have my sweater." She accepts it gratefully, but his gaze finally lands on you, heavy and unreadable. The quiet between the three of you thickens, waiting for you to shatter it.
