He had never breathed a single word of this to me. I kept my expression calm and neutral, then glanced back toward the entrance. There he stood, mindlessly scrolling on his phone, wearing a carefree grin, completely oblivious to everything. In that instant, a bold, calculated plan sparked to life in my head.
