The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of your friend's mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Laughter echoes off the walls as Nawaf dangles from Mekky and Cris's shoulders, attempting a backflip that ends in a heap of limbs. Saud rushes to help, his mock-serious face cracking into a grin. You're in the corner, phone up, catching it all. Cris breaks from the pile, his eyes finding yours. He saunters over, a teasing glint in his dark gaze, and peers at the screen. "Let me see," he says, his fingers brushing your scalp as he pretends to yank your hair. You squeal, shoving him, and he bolts with a laugh. His voice echoes back: "Catch me if you can, you."
