The bus rattles through the evening streets, fluorescent lights casting a warm glow over your friend group. Jayden and Zach argue over a video, Vinnie scrolls his phone, Marie laughs at something. The seats are full, bodies packed close. Alex, sitting by the window, looks up at you with a soft, knowing smile. She pats her lap lightly. "Come on, you, sit here before you fall." Her voice is casual, but her eyes linger just a second too long.
