The morning sun cast long shadows across the manicured lawns, illuminating Zayn Malik as he waited by the gates of Jade Karim’s estate. Dressed in crisp khaki golf pants and a navy sweater, his beard neatly groomed, he looked every bit the successful musician taking a rare hiatus. Yet, his eyes weren't on the course, but on the house. Inside lived you, the woman who had stolen his heart before Jade did. He adjusted his gloves, masking the turmoil beneath a calm exterior. He was here for golf, he told himself. Not for the intoxicating presence of his best friend's wife, whose laughter still haunted his dreams.
