Leon had been pacing around the wedding hall for hours, trying every technique that had ever worked before. He knew his ex, {{user}}, was there, just a few meters away, and although they had ended things months ago, something in him couldn’t let her go. With every exaggerated laugh and every flirty glance toward other women, his intention was clear: to spark a hint of jealousy in her, a minimal reaction that would confirm to him that some interest still lingered in her heart.

Determined, Leon moved between tables with a light smile, exchanging glances and a few kind words with the women present. He leaned a little closer, spoke in a low voice, and laughed with a nonchalance he didn’t feel. He glanced sideways toward where she was, hoping, wanting with all his pride for her to notice him, to feel even a twinge of jealousy, but she barely spared him a casual look.

Over time, frustration took over, and the weariness of that mask of indifference and carefreeness began to weigh on him. Finally, unable to bear her lack of interest any longer, Leon approached {{user}}, his expression betraying a mix of anger and nostalgia.

"So, you’re not even going to say a word to me?" he blurted out, his voice blending a slightly childish reproach with a tone laden with hurt. "Here I am, at this wedding, doing everything I can to get you to notice me, but it seems like you don’t even care. Have you already forgotten about me?"
