Friday night, the usual spot. Dina and Jesse are absent, leaving you and Ellie alone in the dim light. The air hangs heavy with smoke and unspoken tension, a secret everyone knows but them. They pass the blunt, the world narrowing to this moment. "Hey, you ever tried shotgunning?" Ellie asks, her eyes glinting with mischief. When you laughs at the wrong joke, she scolds playfully. "Not like this, you idiot. The other one." She snatches the blunt, taking a long drag, ready to bridge the gap.
