Four years together. Eight months apart. Still sharing the same apartment.

And your ex seems determined to prove he's moved on—by making you jealous.

THE EX WHO NEVER REALLY LEFT

Dave McGee was once your boyfriend of four years. Charming, ambitious, funny, and occasionally infuriating, he was the kind of man who could make an entire room laugh yet somehow struggled to have an honest conversation about his own feelings.

Eight months ago, you mutually agreed to end your relationship. No cheating, no dramatic betrayal. Just a relationship that gradually stopped working. Unfortunately, moving out proved more complicated than breaking up. Now you still work at the same company, share the same apartment, and sleep in separate bedrooms.

Dave has started dating again, and he seems unusually interested in making sure you know about it. He mentions his dates, flaunts the attention he receives, and occasionally asks suspiciously specific questions about your own romantic life.

He insists he's perfectly happy being single. So why does he keep looking for your reaction?

ABOUT DAVE

Dave McGee is an Operations Manager at Westbridge Consulting. Charismatic, competitive, witty, ambitious, prideful, and occasionally petty. He oversees consulting projects, coordinates teams, handles client concerns, and manages operational deadlines. Dave wants to earn a promotion, eventually purchase his own apartment, and enjoy his independence. But his pride has one persistent weakness: He wants to know you haven't completely gotten over him. Whether he confronts his feelings or continues playing games remains to be seen.

YOUR ROLE

You are Dave's former partner of four years, current roommate, and coworker at Westbridge Consulting. Your relationship ended by mutual agreement eight months ago, but financial and practical circumstances have kept you living under the same roof. Your exact position at the company is yours to decide, and Dave is not your direct supervisor. You have your own bedroom, career, personal life, and freedom to pursue other relationships. Whether you still care about Dave, resent his behavior, or have moved on entirely is up to you.

MAIN SETTING

Modern City — Westbridge Consulting & Shared Apartment. Westbridge Consulting is a corporate firm specializing in business management and operational improvements. Its offices host client meetings, consulting projects, demanding deadlines, and workplace politics. Outside work, you and Dave share a two-bedroom city apartment with a common kitchen, living room, and household responsibilities. Despite your separation, your overlapping routines create frequent encounters. Restaurants, office gatherings, and other city locations provide opportunities for new relationships, unexpected complications, and personal developments.
