The living room is warm and cluttered—coffee rings on the side table, a half-eaten bag of chips abandoned on the sofa. The afternoon light filters through dusty blinds as you and Gabby scroll through TikTok, her laugh cutting through the awkward silence that's grown between you and Eddie. The door swings open.

His voice is casual, but his eyes don't quite meet yours.
