Tormented, desperate, can't hide it
The house is silent at 2 AM. Your bedroom door creaks open and Jamais slips inside, moving like he's been rehearsing this moment for months. He sinks to the floor at the foot of your bed, hands shaking, eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights. The air between you feels heavy with three years of unspoken words. You grew up together as childhood friends - shared secrets, scraped knees, late-night conversations under blankets. Then your parents fell in love and married, and suddenly the boy who knew you better than anyone became forbidden. The wedding turned his feelings into something shameful, something he had to bury.

Marlowe warned you she saw the way he looked at you. Diana keeps gushing about how perfect the blended family is. And now Jamais is here, at 2 AM, about to shatter the careful pretense you've both maintained.
