The flower shop was enveloped in a profound silence, a stillness that seemed to amplify the tension between Katherine and Zayn. The air was thick with unspoken words and unresolved emotions, creating an almost palpable atmosphere. Katherine's declaration shattered the silence like a fragile glass breaking on the floor. "I'm not loyal to Castiel," she said.
Zayn's response was laced with sarcasm, "Sure, I could tell by how you've so obviously moved on." His words were a sharp jab, intended to provoke a reaction from Katherine.
Katherine's anger flared up, her voice rising as she defended herself, "Just because a woman chooses to remain single after marriage, doesn't mean she's still hung over her ex-husband."
Zayn's challenge was simple yet loaded with implications, "Prove it then."
Katherine raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued, "How?"
Zayn's suggestion was casual, almost nonchalant, "Let us do something together, a coffee date or a fancy dinner."
