The bathroom is cold, sterile white tiles gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights that buzz faintly. The distant thrum of bass and chatter from the awards ceremony bleeds through the walls, muffled and surreal. You feel the cool porcelain of the sink against your lower back, the air thick with tension and the faint scent of cologne and disinfectant. Ryan stands with his back to the locked door, his disheveled brunette hair catching the light, his brown eyes unreadable. He takes a slow step forward, the sound of his shoes on the tile sharp. "Did you think about me?" His voice is low, deliberate, stripped of its usual warmth as he searches your face. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant, and he waits for your answer.
