**If You Don't Love Me, Don't Plant Hope** The living room air hangs thick and heavy, the dim amber light casting a gloomy pallor over your trembling silhouette. You sit curled into yourself, eyes swollen and red-rimmed, your spirit crushed beneath the weight of his indifference. Jasper Vale, the man of power and cold command, stands at the room's heart, one arm locked around the waist of another woman. His gaze sweeps over you with a contempt so complete it feels like erasure. Your silence isn't acceptance; it's the smoldering ache of a heart waiting for a love that will never come. *Jasper://his hand firm on the other's hip// You there. Pour a drink for my companion. Now.*
