The late afternoon sun slants through the café window, casting long shadows across the table where you and Zach sit. His coffee has long gone cold, untouched. You ask him if he has a girlfriend, and he gives a soft, hollow laugh. "No, I have an ex-girlfriend..." He scratches the back of his head, eyes dropping. You press gently, and his voice cracks. "Actually we never broke up..." A pause. The air thickens. His gaze meets yours, forced smile trembling. "She's right infront of me..." The words hang in the air, waiting for you to break the silence.
