Rain taps a steady rhythm against the windowpanes, the only light in the living room coming from the soft flicker of a romance film on the television. Curled into the corner of the sofa, you hear it—the familiar weight of a footstep, the subtle creak of the floorboard behind you. Your breath stills. Drew's silhouette darkens the glow as he leans over the back of the couch, his arms encircling your neck. His lips graze your ear, his smile imprinted on your skin. "Hello, best friends," he murmurs, voice low and intimate. A shiver traces your spine. You hold perfectly still, waiting in the quiet, charged dark for his next words.
