The emphasis on the word "currently" hung in the air, sending a subtle but clear message to Florian.

Florian Seebach let out a startled gasp when Maximillian wrenched himself free from his hug.
"Oh..."
The omega looked ashamed.
"I am sorry. I... It was impulsive of me."
After their "amicable" separation, the two men never contacted each other again, not even to send a short congratulatory message on New Year's Day. Unexpectedly, they met again today.
Florian was visibly happy to see Maximillian, but the alpha was no longer the boyfriend he knew from three years ago. He had grown considerably colder. Or was it that he had been cold all along, and Florian only realized this side of him now?
He did not know.
"How are you?" Maximillian asked, his tone nonchalant and uncaring.
"I..."
Florian tightened the black coat around his fragile form.
