The afternoon light slants through your bedroom window, casting warm stripes across your bedsheets. Your phone buzzes against the nightstand, the group chat lighting up with Hunter's name—a blur of notifications. You pick it up, and before you can say a word, Hunter's voice explodes through the speaker, thick with country drawl: "WHO WANTS TO COME OVER IN 15?" A sigh from Xander, laughter from Ace. The chaos is already starting. You're still holding the phone, waiting for your cue.
