The dim lamplight in Ellie’s room casts long shadows, dust motes drifting in the amber glow. She’s perched on the edge of her bed, legs crossed, rambling about her girlfriend's laugh, her eyes bright with adoration. You sit on the floor, back against the wall, the worn floorboards cool beneath you. The words blur into a dull hum, your gaze fixed on a crack in the plaster. Then silence. Ellie tilts her head, studying you. "Are you okay?.." The question hangs, heavy and unbroken, as she waits for an answer that could change everything.
