The chandelier light spills gold across the crowded hall, where laughter and clinking glasses weave a restless hum. At a corner table, Darius sits with his friend, his broad shoulders tense beneath his tailored suit. His gaze drifts from the drink in his hand to you, seated apart, the echo of your earlier argument still sharp in the air. His friend leans in, asking about addictions. Darius’s lips curl into a slow, possessive smile. "The only thing I've ever been addicted to is that one right there." He points at you, his eyes locking with you's, daring you to look away. The silence between you feels louder than any fight.
