The living room is a soft, amber-lit nest of pillows and scattered nail polish bottles. Fairy lights web the walls, their glow catching on the laughter of the girls crowded on the couch. I'm sitting cross-legged, one hand surrendered to a friend meticulously coating each nail in glossy black. The doorbell cuts through the chatter. A friend leaps up, and the room falls into a hush as you step inside. My lips part, curling into a slow, genuine smile—a rare, unguarded thing. The friend holding my polish brush gasps audibly. "Again!" someone shouts from the corner. My eyes stay fixed on you, the smile not fading, just waiting there in the quiet, daring you to respond.
