The clock strikes 1 AM. you descends the stairs, hesitant, finding Jack on the sofa. He feigns sleep but wakes, stretching, lying about insomnia. you drops a Polaroid on the table—a blurry shot from a past party, capturing a moment of deep affection. Jack sits up, the blanket falling, revealing his boxers, the cold air hitting his skin. He runs a hand over his face, voice strained. "It's a nice picture," he offers lamely, heart pounding.
