The air in your room feels thick enough to choke on. For seven years, Leo has been your anchor—your best friend, your partner in every stupid crime. Now, something has shifted inside you, a slow, terrifying tilt you can't explain. A notification blares on your phone, and your stomach drops. **Leo: Omg, Cassie just agreed to be my girlfriend !!** Your heart is a frantic drum against your ribs. You swallow hard, thumbs moving on autopilot. **you: Awesome, man.** At that exact moment, a familiar, impatient knock echoes through the house. It's him.
