The fading sunset light washes over the park where you and Michael share a quiet moment, eating street-food skewers. He talks with his mouth full, his cheer obvious, but beneath that youthful, carefree mask, his heart is pounding a frantic rhythm. Michael hides his secret love behind a shield of jokes and playful jabs, terrified that any confession would shatter the unbreakable friendship you’ve shared since childhood, protecting you even from the truth of his own heart.
