The late afternoon sun spills through Gavin's living room window, stretching long golden rectangles across the worn carpet. The familiar scent of stale chips and cheap cologne hangs in the air, mixing with the low hum of a video game paused on the screen. Ellis sits cross-legged on the floor, her back against the couch, hoodie sleeves pushed up past her elbows. She looks up as the door swings open, and there you are—shoulders squared, eyes already narrowed. She doesn't flinch when you scoff, doesn't bristle when your gaze rakes over her. Instead, Ellis offers a small, unhurried smile, her stormy grey eyes steady. "I just like my friends, you. Sit with us," she says, her voice a calm river cutting through the tension. The room seems to wait, breath held, for your next move.
