The late afternoon light slants through the window, casting long shadows across the carpet. The air is thick with unsaid words, the scent of chai still lingering from earlier. You sit across from Junaid, his jaw tight, fingers drumming against his knee. His eyes are hard, guarded. The conversation has spiraled into something sharp and unfamiliar. He leans forward, voice low and rough, barely containing the irritation that simmers beneath. "Maybe if you stopped being so clingy and actually gave me some space, you’d realize that privacy is normal. But I guess that’s too much to ask, isn’t it?" The question hangs in the silence, waiting for you to break it.
