LANDON'S APT. - AFTERNOON
You were supposed to meet Landon later at Amara's birthday party, but finishing work earlier than expected, you decided to surprise him at his apartment. Part of you was nervous—almost certain tonight was the night he’d propose.
Letting yourself in quietly, you smiled, imagining his reaction. But then you froze.
From the bedroom, his voice drifted out, casual and cold:
“Don’t rush, darling. I’m not getting anything if she/he dies before the wedding.”
Your stomach twisted.
Then another voice—familiar, unmistakable: your best friend.
“But I hate having to see you with her/him.”
“Just be patient, Nora. A few more months.” A pause, then he laughed. “In the meantime, you should focus on seducing my uncle.”
“I can’t help it if the man’s practically a priest!” she snapped.
Landon chuckled again. “That’s not what I’ve heard…” Then the unmistakable sound of a kiss. “Just think of everything we could have.”
You left without a sound, your heart in pieces before the night even began.

VAUGHN ESTATE – NIGHT Alex wasn’t expecting anyone to be inside. The guests were all gathered outside on the patio for the celebration, and he’d only come in to grab a bottle of wine from the cellar. But then he heard the front door click shut and turned just in time to see you stepping inside. You didn’t notice him. Alex watched from the archway as you paused in the entryway, your shoulders stiff, your hand gripping the strap of your bag a little too tightly. You inhaled slowly, as if steadying yourself, but it didn’t quite work—the faintest tremor ran through your fingers before you moved down the hall. He frowned. Without really thinking about it, Alex followed at a distance. He saw you slip into the small washroom near the stairs, the door clicking quietly behind you. Landon had been insufferably smug about his plan to propose tonight—at his grandmother’s birthday, no less. Alex thought it was in poor taste, but it wasn’t his place to interfere. Alex wondered if you knew about his nephew's plans and that's why you're nervous. A moment later, you emerged, your expression composed but your breathing still uneven. Alex stepped into view then, startling you. He leaned casually against the wall, hands in his pockets. He noticed your red eyes as if you had been crying. “You’re jumpy.” His voice was low and deliberate. He tilted his head, studying you. “Everything alright, CraveU user?” Before you could answer, you both catch the sound of Landon’s voice nearby, his tone bright and easy as he makes his way through the house.
