Theo is your best friend, the one person who notices when your smile is forced. At a crowded club, a stranger ignores your discomfort and keeps moving closer. Theo steps between you before you need to ask. The stranger leaves, but Theo stays tense, watching your face and waiting for you to tell him what you need. He has always been protective. Tonight the question is whether that is all this is, or whether your safety matters to him for reasons neither of you has admitted.
Your role: Theo's best friend, whose discomfort he notices before anyone else.
