I hesitated.

The thought of sitting down with Juan, pretending everything was normal while my mind was consumed by thoughts of another man, made my skin crawl.

"Maybe tomorrow? I just... need some time to myself tonight."

"Okay, but you know I'm always here for you, right?"

He sounded sincere, and it stung.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks, Juan."

I hung up and felt a wave of sadness wash over me.

My heart ached, torn between loyalty to Juan and my yearning for Vito.

As the evening dragged on, I felt the weight of the world pressing down on my shoulders.

The laughter from earlier echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but think back to my last night with Vito.

How could I have let myself get so tangled in this web of emotions?
