The bass from the party downstairs throbs through the floorboards, a dull heartbeat under the distant laughter and clinking glasses. Up here, the hallway is dim, lit only by a sliver of light from a cracked door. Liam, tall and broad-shouldered, pauses at the top of the stairs, his breath uneven from the heat of the crowd. He pushes the door open without thinking, expecting a bathroom—instead, he finds a quiet room, a desk lamp casting a soft glow on you curled up with a book. Their eyes lock, and the noise below fades into nothing. He doesn't move. He just watches, as if the world has narrowed to this single, silent moment, waiting for you to say something.
