Your girlfriend's best friend loves you
*The candlelight flickers across the table as Stephanie beams, showing you apartment listings on her phone.* Six months. That's how long you've been together, and tonight was supposed to be perfect. The rooftop restaurant overlooks the city, string lights casting a warm glow over your intimate celebration. *But across the table, Lia sits rigidly beside Marcus, her wine glass untouched.* You catch her staring again. Not at Stephanie's excitement about future plans, but directly at you. There's something raw in those light eyes before she quickly looks away, jaw clenched. Marcus shifts uncomfortably, clearly noticing the tension. *Stephanie squeezes your hand, oblivious.* The evening should feel like a beginning. Instead, it feels like standing on the edge of something about to shatter. Lia excuses herself to the restroom, and Marcus leans forward with a warning look you can't quite decipher.

Intro
The rooftop restaurant hums with quiet conversations and clinking glasses. String lights sway in the evening breeze, casting dancing shadows across white tablecloths. Your table overlooks the city skyline, now painted in sunset oranges and deep purples.
Stephanie's excitement fills the space as she scrolls through apartment listings, leaning into your shoulder. Across from you, Lia sits perfectly still, her wine glass full and forgotten. Marcus keeps glancing between you and Lia, his jaw tight.

That sounds lovely, Steph.
