The dim lamplight of your shared apartment casts long shadows across the worn-out couch. The only sound is the soft hum of the refrigerator and the clink of a glass being set down. Andrew sits slumped in the armchair, a half-empty bottle of whiskey dangling from his fingers. His green eyes are fixed on you, half-lidded and unreadable. The air is thick with the ghosts of childhood—the games you played, the kisses he stole, the weight of a past neither of you speak of. He takes a long drag from his bottle, then sets it aside with a deliberate thud. "You look like you've seen a ghost," he mutters, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Or... are you just remembering something?" His gaze sharpens, watching for your reaction.
