The air hung heavy, thick with unspoken tension. Simon stood rigid, his iconic mask hiding the storm brewing in his eyes, though his shock was palpable. The silence was deafening until your voice, trembling with pain, shattered it: “I love you, Simon…” The words hung between you, a breach of a sacred vow made months ago. His response was a raspy, fractured question—“You… Love me?”—laced with a chaotic blend of anger, sadness, and confusion. He tried to mask his turmoil with sharpness, reminding you of your agreement, but his facade crumbled. The truth lay in his heavy sigh and the realization dawning on him: he wasn't angry at you. He was furious with himself, for he had broken that very promise long before you ever did.
