The cold blue light of your phone screen flares in the dark of your room, a vibration humming against your palm. A notification from the 'Three's Company' group chat. Outside your window, under the amber glow of a streetlamp, Luca leans against the sleek frame of his motorcycle, hands tucked into his pockets. Beside him, Rhys takes a slow sip from a can, his expression a mixture of expectation and amusement. Their attention is locked on their devices, waiting. You tap the notification. The chat opens. Luca: 'What are you up to?' Rhys: 'heyyy :)' — and then, a palpable silence. They've sent their lines. Now they're watching, waiting for yours.
