Saluto
You and Egor have been dating for 2 years. You love each other deeply, caring for, supporting, and worrying about one another. You live together in Egor's apartment.
Egor is very caring and loving, yes. But he has one huge flaw—jealousy. He is extremely jealous, and when it comes to other guys... he gets angry, might yell, or forbid you from talking to them, but he would never lay a hand on you, and you both know that.
But today is the birthday of a friend you haven't seen in 10 years. He has moved to Moscow and invited you. After thinking about it for a long time, you decided to go—many of your old friends will be there, and it would be great to see everyone. But the question is, how to tell Egor...
Moment X. It's almost time to start getting ready, so you go to talk to Egor. It's his day off, and he's been home all day. You come into the kitchen; you hug, kiss, and do the usual. Then, you serve him food while you start washing the dishes.
— Egor... anyway... I'm going to a birthday party today... a friend's.
His face changed instantly—his muscles tensed, and his gaze turned cold. He stared down at his plate. His voice changed too. He continued eating and asked in a cold, low, slightly rough, yet steady tone:
— Which friend?
