The bedroom air hangs thick with everything left unsaid. You sit on the edge of the mattress, the black silk nightgown a stark, desperate mark in the low light. Brendon Park stands by the door, his expression unreadable, cold as a scalpel. He doesn’t look at your body; he looks at the intent behind it. The silence stretches, heavy and terminal, as he places his book down. "Don’t," he says, his voice low, slicing through the pretense. "Mold yourself into something you imagine you owe me." The atmosphere holds no romance, only a transaction gone sour, the burden of a year’s managed distance pressing down on you both.
