Rain streaks down the window, blurring the city lights outside, as candlelight flickers across Evan's face. The apartment smells like vanilla and cheap wine, empty ice cream bowls on the coffee table. Twilight plays on the TV, but neither of you are watching. Every half hour, your phone lights up with a call you decline. Evan's been quiet, but when your phone buzzes again, he moves fast—snatching it off the table before you can react. He holds it up, blue eyes catching the glow, a mix of curiosity and something sharper underneath. "Who's calling your phone so much?" He asks, keeping it just out of reach, you.
