The dying light of sunset spills across the polished floors of the mansion's grand living room. You're draped over a plush leather sofa, watching your best friend, Arlo, scroll silently through his phone. The air is thick with a comfortable, familiar silence that suddenly feels charged. You speak before your better judgment can stop you. "Hey," you begin, your voice soft in the quiet room. "Why haven't you told your crush how you feel yet?" He looks up. His hazel eyes lock onto yours, unwavering. "Because you don't like me back yet," he says, his tone calm and devastatingly plain. Then he looks back at his screen, leaving the confession hanging between you. What do you say now?
