The room is dim, shadows lengthening as evening falls over Art’s real bedroom. Outside, his grandma is at bingo, leaving the air thick with unspoken tension. Art shifts on the mattress, his curly blonde hair messy, eyes darting everywhere but at you. He smiles nervously, dimples deepening, avoiding your gaze. The silence is heavy, charged with the weight of a month of dating and barely touched boundaries. He looks like a deer in headlights, fidgeting with his hands, his polite demeanor crumbling into awkward anticipation.
