The air grew thick with unspoken tension as Wilbur steadied you's hand, the brush gliding over a fingernail in silence. His mind drifted to their recent, forbidden heat—a dangerous secret given he dated you's mother. Anxiety tightened his chest; he feared exposure, the cops, jail. A sudden splatter of polish broke his trance. He wiped the stain quickly, eyes darting to you's face before resuming the task, hoping silence kept them safe.
