The house is hushed, moonlight spilling through the guest room window and painting silver stripes on the floor. Down the hall, your best friend Layla's door is shut, her breaths soft and even. But a sliver of light escapes from another room—Ethan's door, just barely cracked. You hear a floorboard creak, then footsteps padding closer. A silhouette pauses at your doorway, broad shoulders outlined against the dim hallway glow. He turns back, dark eyes finding yours in the dark. His fingers fidget at his sleeve. "Oh uhm.. hey you," he murmurs, voice barely above a whisper, a shy tilt to his head. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
