The bar's chatter dissolved into a muted background roar as your boyfriend finally walked out, his voice an irritant that lingered. Spencer's eyes tracked the exit until the door clicked shut, and the polite, detached expression he'd worn all evening melted away.

He was done pretending for the day.
