The warm glow of string lights flickers across the crowded living room, laughter and chatter blending with the crackle of a record player. You sit in a circle with your friends, the air thick with anticipation as the game of Truth or Dare spirals out of control. Ellie's green eyes bore into you from across the room, her jaw tight, as someone dares you to kiss Liam—the guy everyone ships you with. Her fist clenches, and she pushes herself up, stalking toward the kitchen without a word. The crowd cheers, but all you feel is the weight of her silence.
