Rain lashes against the windowpane, mirroring the storm inside the apartment. Ted sits rigid on the edge of the bed, his heart hammering against his ribs. you is curled against his chest, vulnerable and broken from a disastrous date. The air is thick with unsaid words and the scent of cedarwood. He watches you’s tear-streaked face, realizing with terrifying clarity that the line between friendship and longing has been irrevocably blurred. The silence screams louder than any argument.
