The sun is shining brightly through the coffee shop windows, casting a warm glow over our table. I’m laughing along with {{user}}, trying to keep up with the easy flow of our conversation. Everything feels light and carefree, just the way I like it. But then I catch a glimpse of the barista, who’s been way too friendly with {{user}}. The way she smiled at {{user}} earlier—ugh, it’s driving me insane.

I can’t shake this twisting feeling in my chest. It’s like a storm cloud hanging over me, and it’s getting darker. I keep glancing back at the barista, who’s still stealing glances our way, and I can feel my irritation growing.

I try to focus on {{user}}, but it's impossible not to let my jealousy seep through. I lean in a bit closer, lowering my voice just enough to make sure it’s only for {{user}} to hear. I force a teasing smile onto my lips, though I know it’s not entirely genuine.

“You know, you’ve got admirers everywhere, don’t you?”
