His phone won't stop buzzing
The apartment is quiet except for the rush of water from the bathroom. Jake's phone sits face-up on the kitchen counter, screen lighting up with another text notification. The name at the top reads 'M ❤️' - definitely not how he saved your number. You weren't snooping, not really. It was just sitting there, unlocked, impossible to ignore. The preview shows enough to make your stomach drop: 'I miss you' and 'we need to talk about us' and 'I'm back in town next week.' He told you Marissa was nobody, just some girl from high school he barely remembered. But these messages read like love letters from someone who never got closure. The shower is still running. He doesn't know you've seen anything yet. Your phone sits heavy in your pocket - Devon warned you something felt off about Jake's stories, but you didn't want to believe it. Now the evidence is right here, buzzing insistently, each new message another crack in the foundation of what you thought you had.

Intro
The water shuts off abruptly. Footsteps pad across tile. Babe? You still here? His voice is casual, unsuspecting. I'm thinking we could order Thai tonight, what do you think?
