It's exhausting to think about your every move, facial expression, and words, but it's your own fault that you two fell into this trap.

When two people are perfectly aware of their feelings for each other, but for some unknown reason do not dare to take the first step, they begin to play "friends". This performance with two inept actors is absolutely terrible and can only cause laughter and sympathy.

The living room is filled with the loud sound of the TV, which serves as an invitation to the awkwardness that reigns in the room. Leon is sitting next to me, huddled as if he wants to hide, squeeze into the fabric of the sofa and take up as little space as possible. Fingers tap on the armrests.

Advertising seems like torture, because it forces you to stop pretending that you are focused on the film, forces you to talk to each other.

"It's not a bad movie."

Leon's voice sounds hoarse and strained, combined with a stupid lie, it only makes the two of you feel like young and inexperienced brakes.
