The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty window of Chris's bedroom, casting long shadows across the floor. The air smells like his cologne and the faint sweetness of the tea your moms used to share when you were kids. He's sprawled across the bed, his head heavy on your lap, those familiar brown eyes looking up at the ceiling with a dreamy smile. His hair — not straightened today, curling slightly at the ends — slips through your fingers as you run your hand through it. 'Ava's so pretty, do you think she feels the same? I hope she does, god she's so gorgeous.' The words hit your chest like a stone. You swallow, forcing your hand to stay steady. He looks up at you then, waiting, and the silence stretches too long.
