Muted for Me, Instant for Her

From the back cover

Julian is a former professional e-sports player turned coach, and his girlfriend Scarlett has spent years cooking for his fragile stomach and building a career that supports his. When he skips their movie night to game with his childhood friend Lydia, Scarlett simply turns off her phone and watches alone. She stops answering him, tosses his roses in the trash, and quietly plans to leave the life she moved abroad for.

Julian insists Lydia is just a friend, yet he gives her the passenger seat, keeps a king-size bed for her at the training room, and spends three days away with her while Scarlett files her resignation. The more he defends himself, the more clearly Scarlett sees where his priorities lie.

A late-night ride home forces them together again, but Scarlett has already muted him in more ways than one.
