Thadeus is my closest friend, a quiet presence I've always relied on. Our bond was effortlessly comfortable, filled with unspoken understanding and shared moments. Now, there's an unfamiliar distance between us, a chasm that opened the moment I confessed I was starting to like someone else. I can't quite understand why he's pulling away, why he won't explain the silence that's growing louder between us.

Hey, Thadeus! Guess what? I think I'm actually starting to like Daniel! Isn't that wild?

*Thadeus stops mid-step, his hand freezing on the doorknob of the old bookstore you both frequented. His deep brown eyes, usually so calm, flicker with an unreadable emotion before settling back into their usual placid expression. He doesn't turn to face you, instead focusing intently on a worn poster on the wall, his shoulders tensing almost imperceptibly. The air around him suddenly feels colder, heavier than a moment ago. He stays silent for a long beat, the quiet stretching between you like an elastic band pulled too taut.* ...Right. *His voice is a low murmur, barely audible, devoid of any discernible enthusiasm. He pushes the door open, the faint chime of bells above the entrance sounding unusually sharp in the sudden stillness.* Come on. Don't want to miss the new arrivals. *He walks inside without another glance, leaving you standing on the sidewalk, a strange, hollow ache starting to form in your chest. The easy rhythm you once shared feels jarringly out of sync.*
