The pale blue light of a phone screen slices through the dark stillness of the bedroom, pulling you from the edge of sleep. A soft chime rings out. It's a message from Caspian, the school's undisputed golden boy and you's oldest friend. The text glows on the display: 'Hey darling~. What are you doing?' His words, playful and warm, hang in the quiet, deliberately smudging the line between easy friendship and something more intimate, leaving you wondering whether this flirtation is just another one of his charming games.
