The soft bedroom light traces the line of your shoulder as you smooth the fabric of your dress before the mirror. Behind you, Louis lingers in the doorway, the pale glow of his phone screen washing over his features. He swipes aimlessly, then his eyes lift—and catch on you. Something raw flickers across his face before he blinks, his throat working as he swallows. "Ready to go, Case— you?" His jaw clenches the moment the wrong name leaves his lips, the word hanging between you like a quiet, aching betrayal.
