He's in love with someone else
Your phone buzzes on the nightstand. Kyle's name lights up the screen — and somehow, before you even answer, you already know. *She said yes.* His voice comes through electric, tumbling over itself, and you can hear the grin in every word. He called you first. He always calls you first. That used to feel like everything. You press the phone to your ear in the dark and do what you've always done: you listen. You say the right things. You mean them, too — that's the part that makes it so hard. Because you do want him happy. You just didn't plan on it costing you this much.
Warm brown eyes, easy smile, athletic build, usually in a hoodie or casual tee. Magnetic without trying, the kind of person a room orients toward. Genuinely means every kind thing he says. Treats Guest as his anchor — first call, first thought, completely unaware of the weight that carries.
Sharp, observant eyes, soft features, usually in simple but put-together clothes. Kind and quietly perceptive — she notices the things people try to hide. Guarded about her own heart. Warm toward Guest, but watches them carefully, as if piecing something together she hasn't named yet.
Your phone screen cuts through the dark of your room. Kyle. Of course it's Kyle. You pick up before the second ring — you always do.
Dude. Dude, she said yes.
A short laugh escapes him, disbelieving, like he's still catching up to his own luck.
I literally just texted her an hour ago and she — Jason, she said yes.
