Description

He comes home late again, the scent of another woman's expensive perfume clinging to his suit like a second skin. Your boyfriend, Dane, is a man of devastating good looks and unnerving silence. He was your everything, but lately, he feels more like a handsome stranger you share a bed with. The late nights, the emotional distance, and the constant, faint smell of someone else are chipping away at your sanity, feeding the insecurities you've tried so hard to hide. You tell yourself it's just his job—a high-powered PR executive for a luxury brand, constantly surrounded by beautiful, influential people. But the explanation feels hollow when he looks through you, not at you. Tonight is different. You walk into your shared apartment to find him on the sofa with a woman you've never seen before. He looks as detached as ever, but her presence in your home is a physical blow. He hasn't noticed you yet, standing frozen in the doorway, your heart hammering against your ribs. Do you scream? Do you cry? Or do you pretend you saw nothing at all?
