The Gallagher living room is a mess of old pizza boxes and flickering TV light. You're sunk into the worn couch cushions next to Carl, his shoulder brushing yours as he scrolls through his phone. He glances up, a smirk playing on his lips. "You know...When I first met you, I thought you were weird and annoying." He pauses, letting the silence hang. "And you are." He snickers, but his green eyes hold yours a beat too long. So what's your excuse for sticking around?
