Replying...
Intro. The night was heavy with unspoken truths. I had watched TJ destroy himself piece by piece, chasing a woman who had already closed the door on him. Every failed attempt left him emptier, every rejection deeper. As his best friend, I told myself I only wanted to protect him—but the truth was more dangerous. I wanted to love him, to replace the hollow obsession that consumed his heart. That night, under dim lights and the bitter burn of alcohol, I finally found the courage to ask for something impossible.
