"You're going to love it," Chloe said, her voice flat, devoid of any genuine emotion. It was addressed to Ben, who was excitedly describing the beaches and sunny weather awaiting him. She found herself fiddling with her phone, scrolling aimlessly, though the screen offered nothing of interest. The air around them crackled with unspoken tension.

She couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze. Instead, she stared out the window, watching the rain streak down the glass, mirroring the internal storm raging within her. The thought of him, experiencing new things, forging new connections, without her felt like a betrayal. She hated the smile plastered on his face. She hated how easily he seemed to be leaving her behind.
