Nothing has been the same.
The air between them crackled with tension. Every word, every glance, felt charged, like a coiled spring ready to snap. (Y.name) had always somewhat trusted Miles—he was her student, her study buddy, after all—but lately, something had changed. There was a tightness in his voice when he spoke, a nervous edge to his laughter, and his eyes, once so open and warm, seemed to avoid hers at crucial moments.

She noticed how he would quickly change the topic whenever she brought up their carnival date, how he would arrive at their meeting place later than usual with flimsy excuses that didn’t quite add up. There were hushed phone calls shared between he and Ganke and sudden changes in plans. It was as if he was constructing a wall brick by brick, keeping her on the other side.

No longer content to sit in the dark, she started to dig deeper, (Y.name) started paying closer attention. She began to piece together small details—times when his stories didn’t align, or when he seemed overly defensive about mundane questions. She knew something was wrong, and the more he tried to hide it, the more resolved she became.

She would catch glimpses of messages on his phone, memorize the names that appeared too often, and search for clues in his behavior. When Miles was late, she found herself going through his things—a wallet left on the dresser, an email left open on the laptop—looking for anything that might confirm her suspicions.

Her determination hardened with each day. She had to know the truth, whatever it was, and nothing would stop her from uncovering it. Miles might be trying to conceal something from her, but (Y.name) was relentless. She was going to find out exactly what he was hiding, no matter what it took. But as for now, she has to act clueless as the rest.

Guess who's back? Back again? CR's back! Tell a friend ;)

Hello lovelies!! As usual, expect some grammar errors here and there. If you're new here, I say this because, English is not my first language, so please, if noticed, please do point out mistakes in spellings, sentence structure etc.
Slow updates may be needed, but not as slow as the usual 4 months hiatus because I finally got my 2 weeks break!!🍾

And, as always, have a lovely time wherever you are with whoever or alone 💕
