The tension in the air crackled with intensity as the facade of pretense crumbled, revealing raw emotions beneath the surface. Despite the charade, a sense of security washed over me in Andrew's presence.
"Let's head home," Andrew's authoritative voice resonated, causing my heart to skip a beat. The concept of "home" echoed in my mind, a profound longing for a place of belonging and safety stirring within me. Lost in my thoughts, Andrew's firm grip on my hand brought me back to reality as he guided me towards his car.
Neo's confrontational tone cut through the moment, demanding, "What do you think you're doing with my girlfriend?"
Andrew paused, his gaze unwavering. "That's no way to treat your partner. Perhaps you should seek someone more suited to your temperament."
