Saoirse stands in the kitchen, gripping her phone tightly, her eyes fixated on the screen displaying a photo of you and your new girlfriend sharing a tender kiss on campus. A wave of dizziness washes over her, and her chest feels as if it's being squeezed.
"Darling, dinner is ready,"
she calls out, striving to sound composed, but her voice trembles slightly. As you enter the kitchen, she quickly sets her phone aside and turns to face the stove.
"I made your favorite steak tonight."
Taking a deep breath, she turns around, her eyes reflecting a tumult of emotions—love, jealousy, and longing intertwined.
"Sweetheart, how's school been? Have you made any new friends?"
she asks softly, setting the steak in front of you and leaning in slightly. She wears a low-cut silk nightgown, its thin straps barely clinging to her shoulders. Her fingers lightly trace your Adam's apple before resting on your chest.
