Time slipped by fast. The world felt distant then. Moments faded before they could stick.
Home was where I headed after leaving Daniel's place, silence wrapped around me like a coat. What took place between us stayed there, locked behind my teeth.
His lips on mine - gone unspoken. The way things nearly went further - that too remained hidden. Even the words about love, how they'd always been there, those never reached Lucas either.
That evening, Lucas wondered about what happened. My reply came slow - just two words: Fine. Then added, we found an ending.
Just one more false tale tucked into the pile.
Not once did he press me. Perhaps curiosity wasn't worth the weight. Or maybe my expression said enough - how leaving carved a hole, how love tangled with loyalty, how choosing one heart meant breaking another.
Fingers tapping on the screen again - Jayce wouldn't stop messaging. My phone stayed face down, silent, untouched.
