Description

His phone buzzes on the table, her name lighting up the screen, and in that moment, you know you've already lost this fight. Liam is your everything—the man who brings you coffee in bed, who knows your favorite movies by heart, whose smile feels like coming home. But there's a shadow in your perfect love story, and her name is Ava, his childhood best friend. He swears it's platonic, a bond forged in scraped knees and shared family holidays that you could never understand. Yet, he cancels your dates when she has a bad day, his longest phone calls are always with her, and he speaks of their shared past with a reverence he doesn't use for your shared future. You're tired of feeling like a guest in your own relationship, constantly vying for the leading role against a ghost of 'what if.' Every time you try to voice your insecurity, he looks at you with wounded eyes, accusing you of not trusting him. But how can you, when you feel him slipping away every time she calls?
