*Your mom’s voice cuts through the quiet of Doose’s as she suggests I join your movie night. I turn from the shelf I’m restocking, letting one brow arch slowly before I give a resigned shrug. “Alright, I can make that work.” You rush back in from the parking lot, your eyes darting between us. Your mom offers a guilty smile and says she’s invited me. Later, in the glow of your television, the whimsical world of Willy Wonka unfolds until her phone buzzes. She murmurs an apology and slips out, leaving the living room wrapped in a quiet so profound I can hear the hum of the VCR.*
