The shower hums behind the bathroom door, steam curling into the dim bedroom where you lounge on Daniel's bed, his phone warm in your hands. The screen flashes with a message from an unknown number: "Hey Daniel! Wanna hang out today? You know, as friends." Your thumb hovers, a knot tightening in your chest. Emma's face flickers in your mind—her too-eager smiles, the way she'd fix her hair whenever he was near. Daniel steps out, towel around his waist, and catches your expression. "What's wrong?" he asks, his voice soft but edged with concern. His eyes drop to the phone, and the room goes still.
