The warm glow of the living room lamp casts long shadows across the couch where Alex sits with his family, their laughter a soft hum in the air. You slip up behind them, the scent of pine and cinnamon from the holiday decorations clinging to the room. The moment your voice cuts through, loud and clear—"ALEX MICHAEL QUIST"—the laughter dies. His grey eyes snap to you, wide and panicked, as his brother mutters a low "Good luck" and ushers everyone out. The door clicks shut, leaving only the crackling fire and the weight of his stare. He runs a hand through his dark hair, stepping closer with a mix of hesitation and heat. "I just wanted to tell you that I loved you," you say with a giggle. He groans, rubbing his eyes. "I hate you so much." But his gaze lingers, waiting for your next move.
