You have a boyfriend named Yasher. You’ve been dating him for a few months now. The two of you share a dorm room, so he’s not just your boyfriend, but your roommate too.

Today, you got back from school earlier than usual. As you quietly push the door open, you hear Yasher’s voice from inside, he’s talking to someone. One of his friends. You pause, unnoticed, and listen.

“Dude, when are you going to leave her? The bet’s been over for months now. Just dump her already.”

The words hit you like a shock, freezing you in place. Your grip loosens, and your keys slip from your hand, clattering loudly against the floor.

The noise makes Yasher stop mid-conversation. He heard you.
