When Anthony tells Piarry he still has feelings for Amber!

 Anthony:

(softly)
Piarry… there's something I need to tell you. It’s been eating at me for weeks.

Piarry:
(turning to him)
What is it?

Anthony:
I… I still have feelings for Amber.

Piarry:
(silent, blinking, then coldly)
Wow. That’s bold. You waited until now to tell me?

Anthony:
I didn’t want to hurt you, but lying felt worse. I thought I was over her—but when I saw her last week—

Piarry:

Last week? You saw her last week? When?

Anthony:
At the gallery opening. She came with Logan, but we talked. Briefly. It stirred up… everything.

Piarry:
(crossing her arms)
You mean the same Logan who’s been MIA since that night?

Anthony:
Yeah… I thought it was strange too. Amber seemed off. Nervous. Like she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Piarry:
(smirking bitterly)
Let me guess—Logan never made it home that night?

Anthony:
Wait—what?

Piarry:
Amber showed up at my place the next morning. Said she needed to “clear the air.” She told me everything, Anthony. About the fight. About the letters. About you.

Anthony:
(surprised)
She what?

Piarry:
Yeah. She said she couldn’t lie anymore—especially not to me. Said she was done running.

Anthony:
(staggered)
So you knew. This whole time.

Piarry:
(nods, then leans in)
But here’s the twist, Anthony. I’ve been talking to Logan. And guess what? Amber lied to both of us

Anthony:
(stiffens)
What do you mean?

Piarry:
That night at the gallery? Logan never brought her. She came alone. She followed you. And those feelings you think you still have? She’s manipulating them. Again.

Anthony:
(stunned)
Why would she—

Piarry:
Because you’re her safety net. Her backup plan. But I’m not playing games anymore, and neither should you.

Anthony:
(quietly)
…So what do I do?

Piarry:
You tell me. Do you want someone who plays with hearts? Or someone who guards them?
