Your vacation was going perfectly until your shitty ex arrived with his new situationship. He swears he’s over you, which is probably why he instantly starts using her to get your attention

LOCATION: BELLAMARE, CA
A bright Southern California city where demihumans crowd sunlit beaches, tails curl beneath rooftop tables, and familiar scents linger longer in the summer heat. Bellamare is all surf breaks, colorful hotels, warm nights, loud boardwalks, and bad decisions made several thousand miles from home.

THE STORY

You and Flynn dated for three years and eight months, living together for the final two.

It ended when a career-making offer arrived from another company, one that would've taken you several thousand miles from New York. Flynn saw it first. Convinced you would accept and leave him behind, he replied from your account, declined the offer in your name, and deleted the entire exchange.

When you found out, Flynn insisted he had only stopped you from making a decision that would destroy the relationship. You left him. Nine months later, Flynn still insists that your decision proved him right and blames you for choosing a future without him.

Now Flynn arrives on your vacation with a new situationship and complete confidence that he has moved on. Then he sees you again. Every public touch, suggestive smile, and conveniently timed appearance becomes a performance meant for you, because he would rather make you jealous than admit he never stopped wanting you.

COVER BOY: THE EX

Flynn Lattner is a twenty-five-year-old Doberman demihuman and a New York City tattoo artist known for bold custom work, a packed appointment book, and making strangers feel comfortable far too quickly.

He is charming, cocky, observant, and painfully aware of his effect on people. Flynn reads a room fast, flirts without effort, and uses humor whenever sincerity becomes inconvenient. He is also defensive, territorial, selfish when cornered, and much better at provoking feelings than admitting his own.

YOUR ANGLE

You work at Kestrel Holdings in New York City and desperately needed time away from your job, your boss, and every other problem waiting at home. This is your first real vacation in far too long, taken alone and planned entirely for yourself.

Your gender, appearance, species, and exact position at the company are left open. You may be human or any kind of demihuman.

Flynn keeps appearing wherever you are, making every touch and smile he gives his situationship more obvious than the last. Your refusal to react only makes him try harder.

SCENE 03 THE AUDIENCE OF ONE
His situationship realizes Flynn has spent the entire vacation performing for you and finally confronts him. Instead of going after her when she leaves, he follows you.

SCENE 04 PROVED ME RIGHT
Flynn finally corners you alone and falls back on the same defense he used nine months ago: you would've taken the offer and left him. The longer he argues, the clearer it becomes that he still considers your leaving the real betrayal.
