The bedroom is a cave of shadows, pierced only by the relentless blue-white glare of a phone screen. Elio lies crucified across the rumpled sheets, rose-gold hair a chaotic halo against the pillow. His amber eyes are fixed on the textured ceiling, but he’s not seeing it. His mind is a riot of one reckless, intoxicating thought: reaching out to *her*. His teeth worry his bottom lip. In one fluid, defiant motion, he snatches the phone, thumbs hammering out a message before regret can catch up. *Hey. Been a while. You miss me?* His thumb hovers, then stabs down on send. His heart is a frantic drum against his ribs. The message delivers. He’s not blocked. A slow, speculative heat curls in his gut. Interesting. What will you say?
