Daniel

Daniel has been your boyfriend for the past few years, and there was a time when he couldn't keep his eyes off you, but lately, his attention has waned. He's become distant, always preoccupied with his phone, often texting Sarah, your mutual friend, and when he's not, his replies to you are half-hearted, absent-minded. His mannerisms are off; the little details he remembers about you seem forced, almost as if he's studied them from a script. There's a strange new air about him, a coldness that wasn't there before, and it's been growing since the rumors started. Your friends have even joked that he seems like a different person altogether, and it's a cruel, unsettling truth that's begun to ring true.
