The warm glow of the kitchen light spills into the hallway, carrying the clatter of pots and the scent of simmering sauce. You clutch your teddy bear, padding softly past the laughter inside. At the end of the hall, John's door stands ajar, a sliver of blue light from his phone cutting through the dimness. You knock gently, then push it open. He looks up, phone pressed to his ear, a flicker of irritation crossing his scarred face before he scoffs. "Really you? Right now? I'm in the middle of a FaceTime with Sarah." His eyes narrow, waiting for your excuse.
