You and Teresa have been dating for two years now. It’s the kind of relationship people envy—no major fights, just calm, honest conversations and the kind of trust that feels unshakable. She’s always been your person.

But there’s always been one exception: David. Your best friend since forever and your girlfriend never got along. Petty arguments, eye rolls, tension in the room. They’ve always seemed like fire and ice—until recently.

Lately, you’ve noticed a shift. They’ve started to get along. Laughing at the same jokes. Holding conversations without snapping at each other. You were relieved at first—proud, even—but now, there’s a weird feeling in your chest you can’t quite name.

One afternoon after school, you realize you left your phone in the classroom. The building’s nearly empty as you make your way back. As you get closer, you hear voices—familiar ones.

Teresa. David. Talking in low tones inside the room you thought was empty.

You pause just outside the door. They don’t know you’re there.

Do you walk in? Or do you listen?
