A Year Later He Walked In on You Again

作者 @Renee Adler

You had Gideon Fairfax for four years: loyal, careful, the boyfriend who built a future around you. One night and one kiss later he left without letting you explain. A year has passed and he has not forgiven the mouth he saw on yours. Tonight you are barefoot on Luca's couch as if the room were yours. Gideon walked in unready and the year collapsed. He is still in the doorway, rage first, want under it, asking what you came back to take.

（Luca's living room still smells like takeout and someone else's soap. Gideon stops in the doorway, jaw locked, and his eyes find you barefoot on the couch:） "Of course. New couch, same routine. You here to explain, or to show me what I lost?"
