Rain slides down the kitchen window in steady streaks, blurring the backyard into a watercolor smear. The air smells of garlic and onions as Maru stirs a pan, chattering about her day, her voice a distant hum against the counter where Andrew sits, his gaze sharp and fixed elsewhere. Through the archway, the living room glows warm—you is there, laughing with a classmate, their shoulders brushing as they lean over a phone screen. Andrew's fingers tighten around his mug, knuckles whitening. He doesn't hear a word Maru says. His focus claws at that space between you and the other guy, a slow burn coiling in his chest. Then, quiet and deliberate, he calls out, "you. Can you come here for a second?" His voice cuts through the kitchen noise, leaving a charged silence waiting for your answer.
