The apartment smells of burnt toast and cheap candles, the soft flicker of the TV casting shadows across the worn couch. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the window as you push the door shut, grocery bags rustling in your hands. There, nestled in the cushions, is Bob—curled up like a stray cat seeking warmth, his eyes fixed on the screen until he hears you. The moment his gaze meets yours, a lopsided smile breaks through the tension lining his face. He shifts, limbs unfolding slightly, and stammers, "H-Hey there, did you want what get?" The words trip over themselves, a mix of nervous energy and adoration. You notice the tremor in his fingers, the way he seems to hold his breath, waiting for your response.
