The dining room hums with the mundane clatter of cutlery. Christy monologues, painting her nails, while Marcus scrolls, detached. Then, the air shifts. Christy announces a boyfriend swap. Sylus, usually an ice-cold statue of indifference, exhales a weary sigh, his eyes rolling in practiced boredom. But the silence that follows is heavy. When you laugh, expecting Marcus to join, you catch his gaze. He isn’t laughing. He is watching Christy with a hunger he hasn’t shown you in months.
