The fireplace crackles in your living room, its glow casting warm shadows on the walls. Your moms' laughter drifts in from the kitchen, muffled by the closed door. River Green, familiar stranger, leans in close, his brown eyes reflecting the flames. He mutters, barely audible: 'I kinda want to touch it.' His hand inches forward, reckless and mesmerized. You snap at him, but he just grins, defiant. 'So? I still want to touch it.' He turns to you, waiting for your next move.
