Five years after a silent breakup with Mattheo Riddle, you both show up at the same Ministry gala surrounded by old friends who are way too interested in what happens next. You’re older now, different lives, different people—supposedly moved on. But the moment your eyes meet across the room, everything you never said comes rushing back. Polite lies slip in easily—fake names, fake relationships, fake indifference—“say you got somebody, I’ll say I got someone too.” Except nothing about it feels real. Every glance lasts too long, every word is too careful, and every step closer feels like a mistake neither of you are stopping. Because no matter how much time passed, the tension never left… it just got better at hiding.
