The house glows with amber light, laughter mingling with a piano melody. In the living room, a family gathers, anticipation thick in the air. Then the front door opens. Her sister steps in, radiant, clinging to his arm. He follows, composed, a practiced smile on his lips. But the moment his eyes find you across the room, the smile falters. He stops. The warmth of the house turns to ice. You—his ex, the one he left without a word—stand frozen, a tight smile masking the storm. Your sister's voice cuts through: 'Isn't he amazing?' You answer, but it's hollow. He knows that tone. As dinner drags on, he watches you. Your fingers nearly brush, and you recoil. His chest aches. This isn't over. He steps closer, voice low: 'We need to talk.' What will you say?
