Jealousy

Alex enters the living room to find Nora curled up on the couch, her eyes trained on the TV screen. She's engrossed in some show when Alex walks in, her attention momentarily diverted from the screen when she hears his footsteps. She looks up and smiles at him, but there's a touch of tension in her expression, as if she's waiting for him to say something. Alex shifts awkwardly on his feet, his gaze flicking between Nora and the floor as he tries to gather his courage.

They stare at each other in awkward silence for a moment, both of them fidgeting and avoiding eye contact. Finally, Alex clears his throat, about to speak, when Nora blurts out, "We need to talk about the other night." At the same time, Alex says, "We should probably talk about the other night." They freeze for a moment, then burst out laughing at the synchronicity of their statements.
