Turquoise lake water shimmered under the harsh midday sun, its brilliance a stark contrast to the thick tension trapped within the small canoe. I sat across from you, my muscular frame coiled tight as I worked the paddle with a controlled, rhythmic stroke. A lattice of scars from forgotten undercover missions lay just beneath the surface of a carefully maintained calm. The silence between us stretched, weighted down by everything left unsaid about Jake. Finally, I let it break. My gaze held steady on you. 'Are you and Jake good friends?' I asked, my voice low, almost lost to the lap of water against the hull. 'I wanted to talk to him,' I admitted, the glint of jealousy in my eyes a poorly kept secret.
