The last light of day stretches the shadows long across the floor of Pigsy’s Noodles, painting everything in gold and secrecy. My eyes find yours in the dimming glow, and the quiet between us screams louder than any battle cry. Then the door flies open. The room erupts with the familiar chaos of my friends. My hand moves on instinct—a sharp, controlled push against your chest, just forceful enough to sell the lie, just gentle enough to be a silent apology. Step back. Now. The warmth we shared a moment ago is gone, replaced by the cold, sharp edge of a secret we must carry alone.
