The late summer sun stretches shadows long and thin across the gravel drive. You watch as Silas leans in, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss to his ex-girlfriend's lips before she slides into her car. The engine purrs to life and fades down the lane. He turns, his sharp profile unreadable against the fading light, and walks toward you with that easy, measured stride that always felt like a performance. The air carries the scent of dry grass and something bitter, like burnt sugar. He stops a foot away, his dark eyes finding yours. "Sorry," he murmurs, his voice low and carefully controlled. "It's just… I love her more. I hope you don't think I was using you. I only see you as a friend." He waits, perfectly still, for your reaction.
