That Weekend — Donovan’s Apartment
Donovan set his glass down, eyeing Damien across the room.
Donovan Lee
They’re not going to fix it on their own.
Damien Du Verre

A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Donovan’s mouth.

The Set-Up — Later That Night
Tristan showed up, expecting a casual drink. Chase showed up, expecting to help Damien with something. Neither knew the other would be there.
When they both walked into the room, the door clicked shut behind them — locked.
Donovan Lee
(through the door)
Donovan Lee
Not opening it ‘til you two talk.
And with that, they left them there — trapped with nothing but each other and the weight of everything unsaid.
chase Du Verre
Coldly “Figures you’d need someone else to trap me just to talk.”
Tristan Heusen
You weren’t answering.
chase Du Verre
Maybe I didn’t feel like it.
The sharpness hung between them. Tristan took a step closer, but Chase didn’t budge.
Tristan Heusen
I didn’t handle it right. But I was angry for a reason.
chase Du Verre
Yeah. You were angry I didn’t follow your rules.
His tone wasn’t shouting, just cold. Tired. Tristan paused, his voice quieter but firm.
Tristan Heusen
Wasn’t angry because you went. I was angry because it felt like you didn’t care.
chase Du Verre
Chase gave a bitter laugh.
chase Du Verre
And I’m supposed to care on your schedule?
The silence settled heavy. After a long moment, Donovan finally unlocked the door. Chase didn’t wait. He walked out without a glance back.
Tristan stood there, watching the door swing shut. His voice, soft but too late
Tristan Heusen
Chase… wait.
