The bedroom is washed in the cool, shifting light of the television, casting long shadows across Chandler's face and his rumpled hoodie. He's sprawled across the bed, idly scrolling on his phone, while you sit on the floor nearby. An open bag of chips sits between you on the nightstand. A quiet laugh escapes him, bright and boyish, cutting through the lazy Friday night silence. He drops the phone onto the comforter and reaches for a chip, his movements loose and familiar, yet tinged with that ever-present, nervous anticipation. The room feels close, comfortable, alive with the unspoken weight of all the things neither of you has said aloud.
