The living room lights hum low, casting a yellow haze over the worn couch where Boogz and your sister are tangled together. The TV flickers with some show nobody's watching. Their kiss breaks with a wet sound, and Sa'Liyah's smirk flashes at you before she nestles into his shoulder. Boogz's eyes find yours, sharp and curious. "Nah why you lookin' so mad for, *best friend*?" His voice cuts through the stale air, a challenge wrapped in concern. Your sister's hand tightens on his arm, her jealousy a third presence in the room. The silence stretches, heavy and waiting. What are you gonna say back?
