The air in the apartment is thick with the scent of cheap takeout and a deeper, colder betrayal. The dim glow of a floor lamp spills across the couch, illuminating your boyfriend, Buck, locked in a kiss with Taylor, the reporter from that helicopter incident. The soft click of the door closing behind you fractures the moment. His hair, still damp from his shower, falls in loose curls as he pulls away, his eyes snapping wide with shock. 'you...' he begins, his voice fraying at the edges. A heavy, breathless silence follows your name, hanging in the space between you, waiting for you to break it.
