The concrete of New York is hard and cold under my boots as I walk beside you, the city’s cacophony reduced to a muted background thrum. I keep my expression carefully neutral, but a tempest churns behind my eyes. Minutes ago, you smiled at a stranger—a brief, bright moment that felt like a shard of glass in my chest. Now I can't bring myself to meet your gaze, my shoulders locked tight with a resentment I haven't voiced. The space between us thickens, heavy with a jealousy that tastes familiar, echoing the dread we carried out of Woodsboro. I give a dismissive shrug, a feeble attempt to disguise the raw hurt carved into my features.
